RS Elected Pastor of New Life Church
 
Thought this to be interesting. I was thinking RS would follow DKB to Headquarters to serve in some capacity, maybe take over JJ's position.

Rodney Shaw Elected Pastor of New Life Church
Posted in News on Monday, October 26th, 2009

In a special business meeting during the Sunday evening service on October 25, Rodney Shaw was overwhelmingly elected as pastor of New Life Church.

He with serve as co-pastor with Pastor Bernard until June 30, 2011, which will give us time to finish our capital campaign and building program. At that time, he will become the sole senior pastor, and Pastor Bernard will become bishop, defined as advisory pastor, and will serve in that capacity in addition to his primary role as General Superintendent of the United Pentecostal Church International.

Congratulations, Pastor Shaw!
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.

I think this was expected.

I'll never forget the time we ran by DB's church on a Sunday morning when in Austin to meet up with some friends. RS was teaching the Adult Sunday School class. Such a beautiful lesson - I walked away thinking - that man loves the Word the God and loves teaching from it! :thumbsup

Watch and be amazed Paul Mooney. This is how one preserves a nest egg.

One of two things with the GS qualifications here:

We are witnessing more of the loophole finding popular in the org.

Or DKB is rewriting the manual from the get go.

Good point. DKB needs to move on. Great that he is general superentendent but he isn't doing the new Pastor any good by hanging around. Way to king you Bishop so you have something to come back to but in reality never left.

Give Paul Mooney eight years and I bet he feels the need to be GS then. That should be plenty of time to clear up all his local stuff in IN. :spit

N David, Shaw is positioned perfectly as co-senior pastor and editor of the org ministerial magazine, The Forward. As editor, he can serve the Apostolic Identity propoganda machine in Goebellesque manner.

I agree ... not sure I'd want the former Pastor hanging around. Nothing against any former Pastor, including DKB ... just could cause problems. Of course, it's likely RS didn't have a say in the matter.

What is an "advisory pastor?" Would this mean any decision made by RS would first have to be approved by DKB?

God bless Brother RS and may he be fruitful as Pastor.

All the directors of other divisions who gave up their churches are probably smacking themselves in the head thinking, "why didn't think of that!". It ensures that the former pastor/ division director doesn't( let's say) interrupt a Monday morning staff meeting with a boisterous, intecessory prayer in the church hallways crying out to God to purge the Emergent spirit that has deceived his former flock.

Tell you what this question came up at the business meeting at GC as to whether a pastor must give up his church to become GS. It was asked in light of Mooneys decision. Haney remarked that as far as he knew he personally had to resign at his church.

Can someone post the manual language in regards to this matter?
