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 see on my weather map that you are at -11 degrees this morning. That's frozen nose hair weather.
ReplyDeleteGREAT ARTICLE! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GREAT ARTICLE! But...
ReplyDeletewhen are our churches going to do something instead of just talking about it.
Peer pressure seems to dictate that all churches need to follow the norm.
And if someone actually tries to do something, they are usually banned from the controlling group.
