I made an error when I listed my ordination succession a few weeks ago. I was ordained by Earle Wilson and he was ordained by William Neff. I had thought that Neff was ordained by early Pilgrim leader, Seth Rees, but upon further investigation, he was actually ordained by Winfred Cox. Thus, my ordination line takes a fortunate turn. It was a struggle reconciling Rees anyway. I had taken a leap saying that he was ordained by the Nazarenes -- when, in fact, he was originally "recorded" (not ordained) by the Quakers, and the Nazarenes claim they never ordained him. I find that hard to believe -- especially when, according to historian, Kostlevy, he participated in ordinations for the Metropolitan Church Association, a forerunner of the Pilgrim Holiness Church. Anyhow -- deepest apologies for leading anyone astray and here is the updated ordination succession for Earle Wilson and anyone ordained by him (including former Wesleyan GS, JoAnne Lyon). I was ordained by Earle Wils
And the One in Charge doesn't even need a Title, even though we have given Him many.
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderful service this morning. I especially like Pastor Loretta's comments about Jesus' new commandment to us from John 13:34. If we all followed that a little more closely I don't think there would be the dissention in the Church or the world for that matter that we see today.
Your Packers ROCKED today, beating a team Brett had never beaten before - - - the Chiefs.
ReplyDeleteMy Colts are rocking too - - - but it's only halftime. I'm so near heart failure I had to come up here during halftime to try to calm down!!!
I wish I could have heard the wonderful service this morning. Unfortunately, most trouble in the Churches is caused by the so-called leaders with titles who forget that HE is really in charge.
ReplyDeleteI think when we all realize that we are not in charge, life is simplified!
ReplyDeleteI like the Packers, but my Lions are Hot on their trail, just like Michigsan is Hot on Ohio States trail.
What an inbteresting football year.
