 How many of the council of 18 are pastors? |
LonghornFan |
| The General Assembly increased the number of pastors required to be on the council of 18 to either 13 or 14. When I look at the current council, I don’t see near that many pastors. Who are the pastors on the council and is there the required amount? |

I thought 13 of the 18 had to be pastors. Is that not the case? |

thanks for that comment QW. I was wondering. It may never happen but I would sure like to make a trip I had dreamed of to Ireland and attend their services.
He is a man I have admired from afar.
Anyway, thanks...

I don't know. Someone with a minutes book would have to verify that.

From what I understand, the benchmark of pastors is required at the time of election. A couple of pastors transitioned into administrative positions following the assembly. I have heard that Ken Anderson and Mark Leondhart are no longer pastoring.
The current pastors on the council of 18 are:
1. William Lee
2. Scott Sheppard
3. Anthony Pelt (Pastor/Overseer)
4. Joe Dobbins
5. David Smith
6. Nick Park (Pastor/Overseer)
7. Kelvin Page
8. Lennox Walker
9. R.C. Hugh Nelson
10. David Cooper
11. Julio C. Melendez Olgvin |
