Wesleyan Ordination Succession (Updated)


JoAnne Lyon and I share the same Wesleyan line of ordination succession.

I was ordained by Earle Wilson in 1987 in the Pacific Southwest District.

Earle Wilson was ordained by William Neff (Pilgrim Holiness)

William Neff was ordained by Winfred (W. R.) Cox (Pilgrim Holiness)

Winfred (W. R. Cox) was ordained by George Kulp (International Apostolic Holiness Church)

George Kulp was ordained by Stephen Merrill (Methodist Episcopal)


Stephen Merrill was ordained by Thomas Asbury Morris (Methodist Episcopal)


Thomas Asbury Morris was ordained by Robert Richford Roberts (Methodist Episcopal)


Robert Richford Roberts was ordained by Francis Asbury (Methodist)


Francis Asbury was ordained by Thomas Coke (Methodist)


Thomas Coke was ordained by John Wesley (Anglican)


John Wesley was ordained by Anglican Bishop (of Oxford) John Potter.



From Potter -- there's a trail all the way back to St. Peter!  (You can see the Anglican list here.) (Potter is #163)

And the Word marches on -- proclaimed from one generation to another!
