In the current issue of The Wheel of Dharma, in his president's message, Billy Saeki, BCA President, writes about the role of the BCA President.
It is straightforward, but the last paragraph, he sums up his role as:
"To be the BCA President is an honor. The roles of the BCA President are communicator (strive for transparency), change agent (push for positivbe changes), and supporter or cheerleader for the Office of the Bishop (Ogui Socho)."
My role as temple president is similar, except that in my case, it is not the Office of the Bishop but the Head Minister.
The transparency, we are working on. Partly this blog and my monthly newsie in the Megumi is a step in transparency.
At the request of members of the Sangha, we are working on several initiatives for some positive changes. These days, the Temple is badly needed for a place where the Sangha can come together and work on positive things, i.e., the Nembutsu. And we will be working on strengthening that aspect in the coming years.
