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!

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
