Ward |
The United Church of God has finished its annual conference. Kubik and Dean are no longer on the council. John Elliot has replaced Kubik. Donald Ward will be replacing Aaron Dean starting July 1st. In the meantime Roc Corbett will be filling Dean's shoes till Ward takes over.
Once again we get to see the same old guard ruling over the members. When will they ever bring new blood in? Don Ward has so much baggage attached to his name that many UCG members are not pleased.
Then there is this tidbit about all the ministry standing around singing "Thank the Lord" at the close of the last day is a creepy one to envision. After losing close to 50% of their elders and ministers, they are getting all clappy happy.
Finally, to close this year’s general conference, Dan Salcedo, an elder from Southern California, led everyone in a closing hymn: “Thank You Lord.” The closing prayer was offered to God the Father by long-time pastor, Vernon Hargrove.
UCG's new Council of Elders Board is as follows:
- Gary Antion
- Scott Ashley
- Bob Berendt
- Bill Bradford
- Roc Corbett (On July 1, 2011, Donald Ward will take Roc Corbett’s seat.)
- Bill Eddington
- John Elliott
- Roy Holladay
- Darris McNeely
- Melvin Rhodes (chairman)
- Mario Seiglie
- Robin Webber
