This is scary, I'm agreeing again with Berk, maybe it's the pistol he has clutched in his hands.

That happens all the time. I have seen it first hand. Because many of the sheep forget they are following Christ.

I'll just report...it is NOT The Rock Church or CLC.
Let's just debate the issue here...
Is it right for a pastor to single-handedly change the church by-laws to state he solely has a say in who the pastor is?
The longstanding by-laws stated the selection of a pastor would go to a vote of the church body.

NO!
If the church had true multiple leadership this would not happen, the elders would prepare ahead of time for the transition so that the change could be seamless. There is no biblical prescient for the congregation to vote on leadership.

Having just got "the scoop"....I can tell you that this is a TRUE thread.
I feel bad for this church...really I do.
GREAT CHURCH....I dont agrre much with the Pastor and this "move" on his part does add to my list of why I personally dont care for him.
Oh well...life goes on....

Amazing the sons are always called to take over the church, just amazing.

Amazing that this is not always the case. We received a new pastor a couple of years ago and he has no relation to the former pastor.

Maybe that's something that those who thrive on this kind of stuff should give some thought to.

I am sorry you feel this way, not all of us are that way.
