My Updated Ordination Succession

 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 Wilson in 1987 in the Pacific Southwest District.

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