...and God Bless Rev. Haney. We may never know the sacrifice and struggle he has had to endure. I don't think his was an easy job at all. He is a great man and leader who has accomplished a lot for the Kingdom in his lifetime.

Sad day. Another man steps DOWN from the Godly position of "Pastor" to the man-made position of "General Superintendent."
There's nothing wrong with overseeing multiple churches, notofworks. That isn't a step "down." If done correctly, it's still serving the kingdom of God.
