Press Release: Ron Mainse Returns to Crossroads/100 Huntley Street - December 15, 2009
The Board of Crossroads Christian Communications Inc. is pleased to announce that on Wednesday, December 2, 2009, Ron Mainse re-engaged with Crossroads as it’s Spiritual Director and the Executive Producer of 100 Huntley Street.As Spiritual Director, Ron will provide spiritual oversight for the ministry, modeling God’s love and care for our own staff and to our external constituencies through an expanding range of programming and communications initiatives. As Executive Producer of the daily 100 Huntley Street program, Ron will seek to implement fresh ideas in order to enhance it’s impact. Ron plans to utilize a team of hosts for the daily 100 Huntley Street program and be a daily contributor to the program with his own segment.
As reported previously, Ron had personally invested, and encouraged friends to invest, in a vehicle that subsequently was found by U.S. authorities to be an illegal investment scheme. Ron was unaware of the illegal nature of the investment, and it has resulted in a personal loss for Ron and Ann, along with those that invested. It did not involve funds of the Crossroads ministry.
While no leader is flawless, leaders of public ministries are to operate at the highest possible standards of integrity. So, when the allegations surfaced in May of this year, the Board of Crossroads asked Ron to refrain from all on-air and leadership activities within the ministry while a full investigation took place. In October, Ron shared openly on 100 Huntley Street about the implications of his error in judgment in an interview with host Jim Cantelon.
For five decades, Crossroads has been highly regarded for its strong ethical standards and this legacy of integrity continues on.
