NEW ORU BOARD TO INCLUDE BILLY WILSON
Moderators: Pastor Gary, The J2 Mod Squad
Nobody left anywhere! It's funny I was told this by a friend of David Green who said "don't let it out though". And I turn on Jude2 and there it is.
But anyways, yes, the ORU board is changing and yes there was money given with a stipulation that business had to be done differently. I think this new process of checks and balances will be good for ORU.

From the ORU website:
TULSA, Okla. -- The Oral Roberts University Board of Regents met on Monday, January 14 with representatives of the Green family to review their proposal and provide an opportunity for the regents to address questions.
“We are pleased to announce the board has unanimously accepted the Green family proposal in principle.” said George Pearsons, Chairman of the Board of Regents.
“The final terms of the proposal are being worked out now,” said Pearsons.
Highlights of the accepted proposal include:
Shared governance under a new set of bylaws which will now govern the university and keep the mission and vision intact.
Replacement of the Board of Regents, Business and Spiritual, with a single Board of Trustees, who will govern the university in trust on behalf of its students, faculty, alumni and other stakeholders.
The Green family has one vote on this new board and retains no additional control over university matters.
An announcement that former regents will transition to a non-voting, newly formed Board of Reference.
The Board of Trustees, made up of nine to twenty-two members, will have ultimate authority over all university matters and will initially be comprised of 13 new Trustees. The current Board of Regents will recommend six nominees to the new board for consideration of which three will be confirmed by the Green family. Six additional seats will remain open for future Board of Trustee selection.
Oral Roberts will continue as Chancellor of ORU and will be named a Trustee for the remainder of his life.
Mart Green will be named as Chairman and will be the sole member of the Green family to serve on the Board of Trustees.
Use of the $62 million donation will be determined by the Board of Trustees.
“We stand together today knowing the future of ORU is strong. Our proposal focuses on a new shared governance model that will carry forward this university’s mission and founding vision for generations to come,” said Mart Green, representative of the Green family.
“We are humbled and thankful for the board’s trust in this plan and their faith in us,” concluded Green.

Why not?

I have no personal knowledge of this, but why not? Serving on a board is not a full-time position. I have served on several (none as important as a Major University, of course) and the time commitment was minimal -- a few hours a month.

Billy attends Peerless Road Church
As far as Billy leaving the church, he still attends Peerless Road (or at least was there two nights ago) and is licensed in the COGOP. As far as serving on the board, I do not see a conflict or the restriction due to our technology and flight accessibility. I have full confidence in him as a man of integrity and one that desires to hear from God. He is an awesome evangelist. The Voice of Salvation is going through a transition of which you can learn more about on their website at http://www.vosministries.org. With his appointment with the International Center for Spiritual Renewal, I do not see him leaving Cleveland in the future. However, I could be surprised.

Maybe Lamar Vest is planning on taking it over for the CoG and making it an extension of Lee University!
That thought did cross my mind also.

Why, indeed
DaJudge wrote:These are the Hobby Lobby Greens aren't they? Why in the world couldn't we have kept him in the COGOP? But like many have said with Billy and Vest on the board, and with the recent cooperation between COG and COGOP, this could open a variety of new opportunities for growth and cooperation.
And here I was sitting here wondering why I don't have a few "Hobby Lobby Greens" at my church.
