Episcopal Relief & Development welcomes four new board members


From ENS-

In early January, Episcopal Relief & Development welcomed four new members to its board of directors: Rochester Bishop Prince G. Singh, Constance R. Perry, Josephine H. Hicks and Mr. Daniel McNeel "Neel" Lane, according to a Jan. 13 press release.

"We are privileged to have such committed, faithful people willing to serve on our board," said Diocese of Colorado Bishop Robert J. O'Neill, chair of the board of Episcopal Relief & Development, in the release. "We are especially blessed in the diversity of experience and background of these new members. I am very much looking forward to working with these talented individuals as we seek to serve our mission in the world."
The incoming members have been elected to three-year terms, which may be renewed once, the release said.

"We are excited to welcome these new members to our board," said Rob Radtke, president of Episcopal Relief & Development, in the release. "Their unique gifts and insights will help our organization to continue to grow and expand, building upon the good work that has already been done."

Singh is bishop of the Diocese of Rochester. Ordained in India, Singh co-founded the Dalit Solidarity Foundation while serving in the Diocese of Newark. He holds several post-graduate degrees from seminaries and universities in the United States, including a Ph.D. in religion and society from Drew University in New Jersey. He is a member of Bishops Working for a Just World and the Standing Commission on Social Justice and Public Policy.
