Why should it not be that way if the church agrees?

There may be instances where the son or son in law is the right person to take over a church but from my observation a high percentage of the time it is the pastor's will, not God's.
The person taking over a church should be the absolute best person for the job. Not a person who gets it because he is marginally ok for the job but whose main qualificcation is being a blood relative or a relative by marriage to the current pastor.
The harsh reality is that more times than not the succession plan is based on ego, greed, and control rather than what is best for the church.

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."
