Stevenson, what do you think about the change there in Ohio? I think it's a good thing.

Oh Dr. Ron, if I was in Mt. Juliet, I'd probably have my membership there. :D

As far as the change in Ohio? I don't know much about the the man coming in. I do know that our Overseer that is leaving has a big job ahead of him. He's got to unify 2 states and that's a big job. But he did it here, so they got the right mn for the job.

do you really think it does not matter who is a state overseer? For you guys that have been around a long time know that there have been overseers that have caused a huge amount of damage or good.

I was an oveseer for 12 years (three states)

Very little you can do ........especially now!

It all comes down to the local level!!!!
That is where the rubber meets the road!

The SO can give some direction....if he knows where the church is going generally....but not much beyond that....just see that everything gets done....

Like I said ...........same day...different guy

Why do you think they stay in so long and never change ....just move from one place to another.

As for merging states, Billy Murray told us the the pres meeting in 1993 that eventually there would be 8 regions. It has taken some time but it is on track. Randy, in the same meeting, said that evangelism as we knew it then was passe

I think that the State/ Regional Overseers job should be just 2 fold. Equip & Evangelize. That's it! They should help equip their pastors to be better ministers and they should look at how to help evangelize and grow the work of the church thru Regional events that focus on reaching local communities.

the church # 1 priority should be "outreach" # 2 should be "outreach" and # 3 should be "outreach". And always in that order! :wink:

I'll agree on that focus as the main thing, but our SO is my pastor, he's there if I need him more than just for equipping. Don't know if they're all like that, but it's a blessing for me to know I have him there.

Dr Ron, for a man on the outside you sure do see though all this. The more things change the more it seems they stay the same.

or for something else. (i have never seen/heard any VOS broadcasts - I have no opinion there, personally)

The "challenge" I see with this is that the state/region has minimal accountability. the F&S committee is overseer-selected, and there is no other audits required.

is the overseer role supposed to be one of primarily a spiritual leader or one primarily focused on administration (though spiritual administration would fall in here as well). Unfortunately, it is my experience that there are few mature Christians that are both really great spiritual leaders and really great administrators.

did I mention that I love this church? yup - a verified, flag-wavin', covenant member, CoGoP supporter. :)
