Between five hundred and six hundred people gathered at the LDS Reno Stake Center on November 15, 2009, to attend the session naming the new president of the Reno Nevada Stake and formally releasing Dr. Clair Earl from that position, which he had held for the past ten years. A new president was named (Dave Challis), together with his First Counselor (Darren Foote) and Second Counselor (Brent Farr). Attending on behalf of the International Community of Christ were the Right Reverend Gene Savoy Jr. and the Reverend Canon Robert Petrovich. A number of other clergy active in the interfaith community were also present. Outgoing president Earl acknowledged Bishop Savoy in his farewell address for Savoy’s interfaith work.
