I Knew This Was Coming

I don't want to be the one to say "I told you this would happen, but I did". I figured the members of "Temple of Deliverance" wouldn't allow such a smooth transition. It took a while, but eventually they proved me right. With such a large and flourishing congregation. It's no wonder that the power struggles would be happening. Louise Patterson the widow of G.E. Patterson, is a major figure in the outcome of the church. In my personal opinion, I don't think she should. G.E. Patterson was the presiding bishop, not his wife.

This week the fit hit the shan. Ms. Patterson went to the church and found that her husbands belongings had been packed and the locks had been changed. It's been four months now; it was really about time. The saga of "Life after the Bishop" begins. I talked to some members who like the bishop's nephew (Supt. Milton Hawkins) . They support him being given the pastoral appointment. Obviously there are those who support the interim pastor "Jerry Maynard". It will be interesting to see where this ends. Why couldn't this be like when Adrian Rodgers died or Jerry Falwell? They buried them and their respective ministries moved ahead. When ministers become larger than life, and run their churches without checks and balances. When they die this is what happens. I knew this was coming.
