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).

It certainly is a different world to when I first studied in the 90s. Everything was about books and journals. Now as a mature aged student I study externally online through a Bible college that is 2000 kilometres away (1300 miles) in another state. I chat with the lecturers via email and the other students on an online forum. While listening to lectures I answer emails and have Facebook open. Things certainly have changed!
