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
We nearly always get to see these WITH you at church when we are up in July, so I've seen quite a few of them now. BUT - - - they STILL move me to tears. I LOVE how you baptize whole families together.
ReplyDeleteYep - - - I'm all teared up now just writing about it.
beautiful! inspiring!
ReplyDeleteMoving Mark. I am always humbled when I see your baptism videos. How great is God's love and forgiveness!
ReplyDeleteA friend, Keetha, suggested we watch this on. I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful posts ever. Tears flowed freely as I watched singles, couples, friends and families experience baptism. Thank you for this post. Please give a hug to our Guatemala work team friends, LeeAnn and Tim Conner and all!
ReplyDeleteMark, I have never seen entire familes, or husbands and wives baptized at the same time. I found my sele cheering and praising the Lord with them. Hallelujah!
