Norman and Carol Spicher Waggy have concluded an interim assignment as directors of Global Mission for the Church of the Brethren, as of May 14. They served in the position on a part-time basis starting March 2, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During their 14 months directing the Global Mission office, their work included the development of country advisory teams, facilitation of gatherings of the Global Church of the Brethren Communion via Zoom, and continuation of the work of living into the denomination\u2019s Global Mission philosophy–all while navigating the challenges of a global pandemic. They also were speakers for a Moderator\u2019s Town Hall webinar about the global church. Most recently, they provided orientation and transitional support for incoming executive directors of Global Mission, Eric Miller and Ruoxia Li.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Waggys worked remotely from their home in Goshen, Ind., where they are members of Rock Run Church of the Brethren, and from the Church of the Brethren General Offices in Elgin, Ill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
