Extra Baggage

A comment was left earlier with what appears to be the latest list of elders. I do not have independent verification, but it appears to be genuine.

I annotated the list, replacing initials with full names.  I also compared lists, identifying some demotions and a few promotions, also adding a list of people no longer listed as elder.

Notably absent from the list is Helen Terlecki, a long time member and a confidant (to whatever that’s possible) of Laura.  Her son reports her to be ill.  I hope she recovers soon and will also be added to the list of ex-members.

There were some senior elders demoted to elder: Lynnette Eckhardt, Dave Conley, and Mitch Williams.  Leonard McGlynn of Canada is no longer on the list.  Newly promoted were Joey and Sarah Shockey, Sarah being Beth Bucheit’s daughter.  Of the 10 senior elders listed, half are from Cincinnati.

Hi,
This is a current list of those who are in the ministry from associate elders through sr. evangelists. We are sending this to everyone since there has been another round of nearly thirty more being removed/retired from the ministry. We want to remove any confusion as to who is actually serving in the various areas and in what capacity.
Most all who have been retired/removed from the ministry are the result of health issues and/or the normal course of some simply getting older and who have no need to be burdened with the kind of work that will be required within the next few years. A very few are being removed because there is simply no need in some areas to continue to sustain a ministry. Laura and I are very thankful to all who have served and supported the Church and ourselves as they have. We have not included Laura, Audra, or myself in this list, as that certainly is not changing.
