General Overseer Dr. Raymond Culpepper is taking the right steps by going out of Cleveland and listening to the pastors and members in the field. If it does not do anything else it will make them feel like someone really cares about what they are doing.
I personally believe he is really concerned and wants to hear what we have to say. It will remain to be seen if it will have any affect on what comes from the Executive Committee. I have always liked Dr. Culpepper so I am somewhat biased in my opinions.
One of the biggest things we need in the Church of God is a Church wide health care program for all our ministers but especially for those who are retired and living on meger incomes. They have given their lives for this church and deserve all the help they get. They deserve more recognition for their labors also. I know many retired ministers who have given their lives for this church. They never pastor what we call a "limit paying church" but always worked a secular job in order to support their ministry. I deeply love and appreciate all of them. That is why I full support from myself and my church all the programs for them. Especially at Christmas time when it seems like they are all forgotten.
Thank you Dr. Culpepper for listening!
