From Rev. Richard L. Brihn (April 6, 2008)
At my first meeting with the Consistory, I told them that one of the responsibilities of an interim pastor was to share with the Consistory observations, ideas, suggestions and changes (many of which would not be received gladly) that would improve and enhance the life, mission and ministry of NHRC. Much to my delight, (and surprise) the Consistory, as a whole and as individuals graciously and attentively listened to my thoughts, and shared my observations and suggestions with their council or committee.
Was everything acted upon? Of course not. However, what pleased me most was their gracious sharing with me the reason(s) for not doing so.
What fonder remembrance could and interim have? One thing, - sitting on the floor Sunday mornings and talking with the Kids in the Kingdom.
