Surbaugh retired after a tenure of more than four years. “As the BSA moves through an extraordinary time of both change and opportunity, we believe Roger’s experience as a seasoned executive, adept at guiding transformation and driving growth, will bring the right combination of strength and focus needed to steer our organization toward a promising future,” noted Jim Turley, National Chair of the Boy Scouts of America.

    Celebrating 150 Years in the Heart of White Plains the Sabbatical

    SUMMER 2016 Celebrating 150 Years in the Heart of White Plains The Sabbatical Pastor’s Letter Change and the Promise of Pentecost May 2016 There is an old joke about people not liking change. The joke is that the only people who like change are toll collectors and babies with wet diapers. You can tell it’s an old joke because toll collectors have disappeared with the invention of EZ Pass. Babies still need to be changed. Change is difficult. Transitions in life can be powerful and uncomfortable moments. They are challenging even when we think we are prepared for them. They can be even more unsettling when they ambush us unaware. Henri Bergson, a French philosopher once wrote, “To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.” Change is a fact of life. Change is a consequence of our being alive. We might even say that change is a necessary condition for our growth and maturity. Yet coming to terms with all of the emotional undercurrents that go along with change is not always easy for us. Putting a little one on a school bus for the first time can bring a parent to tears. Seeing your child attend his or her first prom makes you wonder where the time has flown. Retiring after years of productive and fulfilling work can bring unexpected feelings of vulnerability and emptiness. Although change is constant and inevitable we can still feel insecure and anxious about the uncertainty that change brings. Until my retirement in 2013, I served as the Canon for Deployment and Transition Ministry in the Episcopal Diocese of New York.
