Big news from Willow Creek. Over the weekend two staff members, Randy Frazee and Gene Appel, submitted their resignations stating they were pursuing new ministries.
The news broke here by the Elders at Willow.
This is such interesting news, considering Willow has received more-than-normal attention in the last year with their confession.
I must say, even though I understand that God brings opportunities (for Frazee, Appel) in the midst of change (as with REVEAL), I would probably have an inner-struggle like "uh... God, this is a very interesting, exciting time to see whats next... so lets wait on moving me just yet, k?"
This will bring on further scrutiny as this makes three staff members resignations within a three month period, with Mike Breaux's (whom I think is the bomb-diggity) resignation prior to this.
Even though exciting things have been happening, this has got to be a difficult time for Willow. Pray for Bill Hybels and the rest of the staff as they lead.
