Terry Shock Leaving Alexandria
This might be old news because I've been out of the loop a long time---don't know that I ever was in the loop---but news came to me that TS has resigned or is resigning from POA. Big move for him. God bless TS, he's a great person.

I don't think so. I think it's in process.

Re: Terry Shock Leaving Alexandria
I could have prophesied this (and did but not on AFF). When the mantle that had been assured would be passed for many years didn't pass when AM turned 65 it was all but done.
As usual in Pentecost churches the work will be left to family. Blood is thicker than water and when AM's son went into ministry TS should have known it was over for him at POA.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. 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."

Interesting, would you care to expound on this thought of ministerial nepotism?

Re: Terry Shock Leaving Alexandria
Interesting bit I found on Wikipodium
Nepotism is favoritism granted to relatives. The term originated with the assignment of nephews to cardinal positions by Catholic popes and bishops. Nepotism can occur in various fields including: politics, entertainment, business, and religion.

Do you have proof of this, or are you just posting gossip and libel?
An Admin, no less.

Bro. Beni, I see it ALL the time, and in most cases it doesn't turn out well.
