It's a different game.
Nathaniel Urshan was definitely a man with charisma and clout, a leader with a personality as big as a Mack truck.
He had a degree of influence that I doubt we will ever see replicated in a General Superintendent.
Some of this is because of the change in our society, and some of it is because we had a man like him for so long. 
Leadership seems to run in cycles. People usually want something different than what they have had.
One of the big problems I see is exactly what you named--lack of clear direction and definition.
This isn't altogether Brother Haney's fault, either. |
I have to say that CS hit the nail on the head on this! there is such a difference between the generation of Pentecostals that Bro.Haney is trying to lead and the group as it was led by Bro.Urshan. I would say that today the Babyboomers make up a great majority of the church and their mindset is so much different from the previous generation.I do believe Bro.Haney is doing a great job so far,change is not always easy but it is sometimes necessary.
