Post UPCI Gen Supt. Election Questions
 

The election of David K. Bernard to the position of General Supintendant of the UPCI left some questions to be answered.

Here are a couple I have to get the ball rolling. Perhaps some AFFer will have some answers;

1. Does anybody know why Paul Mooney removed his name from consideration after receiving the most votes on the nominating ballot? Has he publicly stated why?

2. Does anybody know who will pastor DKB's church since the UPCI does not allow the GS to continue to pastor? Is his Asst. Pastor the heir apparent?

Moody didn't remove his name till he went to go back behind the curtain. He said he felt checked in the holy spirit because he couldn't leave his call to pastor his current church.

Next question

Will DKB continue his leadership of UGST?

Correction..... PM did not receive the most votes on the nominating ballot. KH received the most votes - just not the 2/3 required to remain as GS due to term limits... It is my understanding that KH was short only 40 to 50 votes.

As far as answering your question why he removed his name .... who knows, but it does seem odd. His name has come up for the past 10 years or more.... surely he knew that he would receive quite a few votes. He could have put the word out that he wasn't interested. JMHO

Why the Holy Spirit wasn't checking PMs spirit while he was peacocking and sabre rattling to cons for the last year while trashing emergents and signaling to confidantes he would run is puzzling.

Lots of maybes, perhaps with PM?

Maybe his church is in a building project that is close to 20 million dollars in debt?

Maybe he has not been to secure his lineage (in law) as pastor as the church is not keen to the idea, and subsequently unable to secure a nest egg?

And, maybe it might be a reticent spouse or underlying health issues?

Maybe the Lord wanted DB to be GS? Lots of praying and fasting going on before conference.

If he really said this then I can't fault him for withdrawing his name.

Will Rex Johnson be the new Dist. Superintendent? :D

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
