BRIEFS

Marion L. Fisher Jr., a retired school superintendent from Roanoke Rapids, N.C., has been named interim executive director of the Institute of Industrial and Commercial Ministries.

Fisher will continue to live in the North Carolina city while the national office of ICM remains in Harrisonburg.

The new office of ICM is at 122 S. Main St. #406 in Harrisonburg with 703-432-1919 the telephone number. Fisher may be reached at 919-537-4244.

Until last year the industrial ministry program was based in the Roanoke Valley. A shortage of donations forced evaluation of its work and a delay in employing a full-time director. The agency trains and places volunteer chaplains in public-service offices and private industry throughout the nation.

Bishop to speak

Bishop E. Harold Jansen of Washington will deliver the baccalaureate sermon for Roanoke College on May 4, at 11 a.m. It will be in the Bast Center in Salem. Jansen is spiritual leader of the Synod of Metropolitan Washington of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The college is affiliated with the denomination.

The service will precede graduation ceremonies at 2:30 p.m. on the Front Lawn. Speaker for that will be Robert Myers, who will discuss "Setting Your Moral Compass." Myers has headed the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs since 1980. He was formerly with the Central Intelligence Agency, was publisher of New Republic magazine and is a co-founder of The Washingtonian magazine.

Both events are open to the public.
