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
Thanks Pastor Mark- i gained a lot of encouragement and insight from this and the comments people gave.

It's not the size of the congregation that counts, it's the size of the hearts and the love contained therein.
ReplyDeleteUnhealthy churches need to quit grasping at any new program they have seen work for other churches. The new approach is not what works. I have watched our church try to 'copy' everything imaginable, almost down to the color of toilet paper another church uses. What our church is lacking is a real love for God's people. The leaders only care about themselves. It is the LOVE that counts.
