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
Mr. Parris must have a lot of late night arguments with himself. My feeling is you cannot be an athiest (one who believes there is no God), and then make such observations and statements as those made by Mr. Parris. He's a walking contradiction and hopefully he'll realize that. The country of Africa isn't the only country in need of God. Take a look at the United States of America, Great Britain, Central America... no matter where... we all need God.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Mr. Parris' observations of God's obvious activity in the lives of Africans will surely be used as a tool to open his eyes to the very existence of God.
