INDIANAPOLIS (DNS) -- The Rev. Eugene Randall, II, was named corporate secretary of Board of Church Extension of Disciples of Christ by the board of directors during their Dec. 16-17 meeting.
Randall, general consultant for BCE since 1994, will assume the new duties Jan. 1, 1998. Added responsibilities as an officer of the corporation include planning meetings of the directors and maintaining records as well as other legal duties.
"Eugene's attention to detail and planning are an excellent match for what is needed in this new responsibility," said the Rev. James L. Powell, president. "His thoroughness in working with congregations in addressing building needs will continue even as he provides added leadership to the future directions of the organization."
Randall graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree from Miles College, Birmingham, Ala., in 1989. He earned his master of divinity degree from Lexington (Ky.) Theological Seminary in 1992.
The new corporate secretary is one of a select number of church leaders participating in the National Leadership Program. This is a three-year, ecumenical church leader development project funded by Lilly Endowment.
Prior to his current position, Randall was pastor of Third Christian Church, Louisville, Ky. Randall served Macedonia Christian Church, Birmingham, Ala., from 1984 to 1989.
He is the author of an African American Disciples history, From the Balcony to the Board Room: A Brief History of Black Disciples in Kentucky and Surrounding Regions.
He, with his wife, Pauldenia, are the parents of three children, Derrick, Shaunte and Deborah.
