A note ... a little puzzled with the date he officially becomes "sole senior pastor." I see the reason given, but isn't a requirement of being UPCI GS that you not be Pastor of a church? This would mean DKB would continue as Pastor for over a year into his new role as the UPCI GS.

Someone probably pointed it out by now, but JJ's post is an elected position. The General Secretary is selected by the General Conference for a term that expires in alternating years to the GS.

They are in the middle of a capital raising campaign, which might have legal ramifications.
I believe this arrangement allows for a smooth transition. Reading between the lines, I see Bro. Shaw as the defacto pastor, with the time frame and co-pastor status put in to calm the fears of some of the congregation who have called Bro. Bernard pastor for so many years!

I agree- I do know they are in a building program - I think they are relocating and building a new building. This may be why they have this arrangement.

Re: RS Elected Pastor of New Life Church
Will the skeptics please raise your hands?
It seems so easy of us to think evil of others. At least cushion your pessimism of the motives and actions of others with some possibility (my hope) that you could be wrong.

DKB probably has his name signed on some bank docs for trust purposes and they want to continue to show good faith with the banks and whatever fund raising they have done. It's probably just some procedural rigamarole.
Either that or...
It all fits together into DKB's plot to take over the UPC...

Re: RS Elected Pastor of New Life Church
I think there is no mystery here. Makes perfect sense to me. While GS is considered a full time position, I don't see why one could not be an advisory "pastor" to ten churches while filling the position. Of course if one is stuck with the idea that a "pastor" is the "top dog - must be in charge of everthing" role then it would not work...
