The National Council of Churches announced on January 26 that Jim Winkler, its general secretary and president since 2013, is leaving his post.
Winkler told readers of the Protestant ecumenical organization’s e-newsletter of his departure, writing in a “final column” that “I have completed two terms as president and general secretary and now move to the next chapter of my life.”
He did not cite a reason for his departure. Winkler also did not respond to a request to comment on his move.
