    Wow, thanks for posting this, Pat!

    I’m sad to be leaving the BIC in a bit of a lurch — but it’s time for my husband and me to move on. I’ve learned so much as the editor of Seek and BIC Communications, and I really hope that whoever takes my place has a love for the church, truth, art, and communication.

    Well, they have some big shoes to fill!

    I posted it because I think it sounds like an exciting opportunity and if I weren’t pursuing doctoral studies, I might consider it myself (even though I don’t have a degree in journalism, communications, public relations, or marketing!).
