Introducing The Christian Chronicle’s new Editorial Board
Jeremie Beller, John Edmerson, Trindi G. Mitchell and Tamie Ross will collaborate on the newspaper's editorials.
The Christian Chronicle has named four new members to its Editorial Board, which collaborates on topics and stances for the newspaper’s editorials on this page:
• Jeremie Beller, congregational minister for the Wilshire Church of Christ in Oklahoma City and an adjunct professor of communication at Oklahoma Christian University in Oklahoma City.
• John Edmerson, elder and senior minister for the Church of Christ at the Vineyard in Phoenix. He is also a well-known song writer among Churches of Christ.
• Trindi G. Mitchell, member of the Henry Street Church of Christ in Gadsden, Ala. She is a Sunday school teacher and writer.
• Tamie Ross, member of the Edmond Church of Christ in Oklahoma. She is a veteran journalist who previously served as online editor and advertising manager for the Chronicle. (Yes, she is married to the editor-in-chief, but please don’t hold that against her.)
The new appointees join Erik Tryggestad, the Chronicle’s president and CEO; Chellie Ison, the Chronicle’s digital news editor; and me on the Editorial Board.

Starting this month, the Editorial Board member serving as the lead editorial writer on a particular topic will sign his or her name. The opinions expressed represent the consensus of the Editorial Board but do not necessarily reflect the position of the entire Chronicle staff, our national board of trustees or Oklahoma Christian University.
As always, we welcome respectful dialogue on our editorials. Letters to the editor may be emailed to [email protected].
BOBBY ROSS JR. is Editor-in-Chief of The Christian Chronicle. Reach him at [email protected].
