Appointments

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.

interesting concept - an overseer/pastor. what a great way to combine and save budget/expenses.

lets do that with every so and i bet we can find enough money to keep vos.

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.

me too!! everything except the flag waving!!

hehehehe - I bought 5 and gave away 3. one night a lady came up with a dozen or so flags and passed them out to the folks waving hankies and dancing about with the BBB.

Later, I found out they were from the WW booth and she had to take them back, but apparently didn't tell anyone, so she didn't get them all back. so when she saw me that night and the next (with my flags), she asked if those flags were mine, and where did I get them.

Did they ever announce who the missing person was? GO said he would announce later when he found out...?

If they did I didn't catch it, that's why I left the ? there. I also missed a few others that people may be able to fill in.

Hi all, this is my first post in J2
My Question is: Do any one know the reason(s) for a intermship for SC Overseer? That is Intermed by our past General Overseer Fred Fisher.

Welcome aboard.

The reason is that at the last minute, during the Assembly, Ken Baker made a personal decision to step aside and not accept the reappointment. The decision was 100% his, and he offered no public explanation for it. Fred Fisher accepted the interim role as SO of SC just until the North American General Presbyter could make other arrangements.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell -- no conspiracies, nobody being left out... just one man's decision.

Thanks for the info Pastor Gary
I hoped all was well with brother Ken Baker, he has been a blessing to SC.
