National Conference Business Update

The US National Conference business session started at 8:00. Here is what has happened so far:

  • Tom Blaylock and Gordon Kettel gave a devotional and presentation on church planting.
  • The conference rules and procedures were adopted.
  • The delegates voted to elect 8 members to the Executive Leadership Team. The results should be announced before lunch.
  • Mike Caley, chairman of the Nominating committee, explained the procedure they went through in developing the ballot for bishop.
  • Bishop Ron Ramsey made it very clear that, in putting just one name on the ballot for bishop, this is not a “railroad job,” and if he hears anyone say that that’s what happened, “You and I will have a come to Jesus moment.”
  • The delegates voted on bishop, with one name on the ballot: Phil Whipple, pastor of Colwood UB in Caro, Mich.
  • G. Blair Dowden is giving his report as President of Huntington University.
