Stanley Chambers was newly elected General Superintendent and really, Chambers was just a nice guy and a bean counter.
He was swimming with sharks dealing with Weeks and Guidroz.
Was a newly-elected GS going to stand up and over-rule the very tenured and very strong District Superintendents of what-was-then by far the UPC's two mightiest districts?
Not a snowball's chance in the infernal regions.

There is a story behind some of this most folks don't know. There was a plot to remove Elder Burr from his church so a prominent person could take the church over (no names) he was encouraged to run for GS from men he thought was his friends it was a manuver to oust him. He lost then the same guys tried to get him to run for DS but he had wisened up, but at the expense of making the DS then upset. It was a politcal plot that failed but it opened his eyes up to the political corruption of organizational politics. So he began to write and did he write? And true Bro. Chambers had just became Supt and he was not going to clash with those two war horses. I do not know about Guidroz but Weeks told many a preacher in his later years he did not handle that correctly and was sorry. They never thought it would cause the disruption it caused. But I NEVER heard Elder Burr speak unkind about Guidroz-Weeks-Chambers only the system.
