Personnel Changes At Two Federal Religion Agencies

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Personnel changes have been announced at two federal agencies dealing with issues of religion. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom announced yesterday that James D. Standish has been appointed its new Executive Director. Previously Standish served for seven years as Director of Legislative Affairs at the Seventh-day Adventist Church World Headquarters. Standish replaces Joseph R. Crapa who died last year.


Meanwhile, The Roundtable reports that Jay Hein, director of the White House Office on Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, has resigned effective August 29 in order to care for his father who is suffering from cancer. Hein announced his resignation last week during his regular conference call with state liaisons to religious charities. The White House is seeking a replacement for Hein. [Thanks to Melissa Rogers for this lead.]
