INDIANAPOLIS (DNS) -- The administrative director of the Reconciliation ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has left that position. Friday, June 2, was the Rev. L. Wayne Stewart's last day.

Stewart's departure came after a conference call meeting of the Administrative Committee's executive committee, which functions as the personnel committee for Reconciliation.

Stewart was called to the position in 1993.

The personnel committee has directed Lois Artis Murray, associate general minister and president of the Church Finance Council, to call an interim administrative director. In addition, the Reconciliation committee, which has been operating with fewer persons than its membership design specifies, will be brought into compliance at the July meeting of the General Board.

Reconciliation is a Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) ministry to combat racism.
