Jim Hardenbrook to be interim director of Sudan initiative.

Jim Hardenbrook, past moderator of Annual Conference and a pastor at Nampa (Idaho) Church of the Brethren, has accepted an assignment to work part-time as interim director for the General Board's Sudan initiative, while continuing his pastoral duties.

Hardenbrook traveled to Sudan last spring with an ecumenical delegation and reported about that experience to the 2005 Annual Conference. His has been a strong voice for Brethren to do more in response to the tremendous needs in southern Sudan during a "critical moment" following peace accords between the northern government and southern rebel movements.

In this role, Hardenbrook joins the Global Mission Partnerships team of the General Board. The assignment likely will continue through the summer.
