Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Can any TPC members give us an update on how the preacher's have done who have tried out or has everybody been intimidated from talking about it?
It would be interesting to hear the preaching style and point of view of these candidates. Especially compared and contrasted with that of the previous pastor.

Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Didn't you know that TPC is in a conclave and all members have taken a vow of secrecy? They'll make an announcement shortly after the white smoke appears!

It would be hilarious if one of the pastors in the running played the part of "the spoiler" thus allowing the winner to get in with only 40% of the vote. Think of the preacher equivalent of Ross Perot who "once told Larry King that he could handle everything".

Most of the pastoral "elections" I have heard about it was an up and down vote on each candidate. Not pitting preachers against each other. I have heard of it being done the other way though.
I guess every method of election has its good and bad points. In the one church I have attended that was not pastored by a guy with a UPC background he had 2 groups for accountability. For local church finances and major decisions it was a group of elders much like a board. For spiritual accountability he had a group of other pastors / ministers he was accountable to and if he ever fell into sin it was that groups job to work with the local elders to find a replacement pastor. I don't think the church voted on candidates.

CC1, why don't you just call the church and ask?
