Harvey is chosen as moderator-elect, and more election results

In today's business sessions, Tim Harvey, pastor of Roanoke (Va.) 
Central Church of the Brethren, was chosen as Annual Conference 
moderator-elect. The Nominating Committee of the Standing Committee 
of district delegates developed the slate of candidates, and Standing 
Committee voted to create the ballot that was presented to the 2010 
delegate body.

As moderator-elect of Annual Conference, Harvey will serve for the 
next year in the second-highest elected position in the Church of the 
Brethren, assisting 2011 moderator Robert Alley to lead the 
Conference next year. In 2010 Harvey will serve in the highest 
elected position in the church as moderator of the 2012 Annual Conference.

Having grown up in Broadway, Va., his home congregation is Bethel 
Church of the Brethren in Broadway, Va. He holds a bachelor of 
science degree in chemistry from Virginia Tech and a master of 
divinity from Eastern Mennonite Seminary. He is an ordained minister 
and his pastoral career also has included service as youth 
minister/associate pastor at Dayton (Va.) Church of the Brethren, and 
as pastor at New Hope Church of the Brethren in Stuart, Va.

He was a member of the Church of the Brethren General Board, 2003-08, 
and chair of the board from 2007-08. He currently is chair of 
Congregations in Action, an interfaith group of nine Roanoke 
congregations partnering in a local, public elementary school. He and 
his wife Lynette have three children, Emily, Zachary, and Rose.
