Christ Church Pastor Change

[CC1]

This morning at Christ Church Nashville (I was at the early service and the same will be announced at the 2nd service) Pator Hardwick announced that after 57 years as the Sr. Pastor of Christ Church he will become Pastor Emeritis and that Dan Scott has been presented to the board and the board ratified him to be the nominee for Sr. Pastor.

Church members will vote a yes or no vote on Dan Scott as Sr. Pastor on the evening of June 29.

Pastor Hardwick will still be the head of the church board, will be at church when in town, and will preach occasionally.

Dan Scott will take over the day to day business of pastoring and running the church.

Pastor Hardwick laughed and said he would be around to step in if anything goes wrong (paraphrased - I don't remember exactly how he said it)

He likened the transition as to the Children of Israel first being led by the cloud and then by the Ark. He said he was sure Dan would do some things differently from him and people shouldn't' say "That's not the way Pastor Hardwick did it!".
