ARKLA Churches Call For Special Constituency Meeting To Choose New President
[Excerpts]
Several Seventh-day Adventist churches in the Ark-La (ARKLA) Conference are calling for a special constituency meeting. Why?
The current President of the Conference is retiring and many SDA constituents are concerned about the selection of a new president. Here are some of their concerns, written by a Pastor in the Conference and taken from the Heber Springs SDA Church Facebook page: "Some of my church members have concerns regarding this procedure. I will list some of those concerns here:
1. The position of President is such an important servant leader position that it would be better if the entire conference constituency had a voice and a vote in his/her election.
2. It would seem better for the incoming President to be received and welcomed and affirmed by the Conference as a whole, rather than a small committee.
3. The perception of an “inside job” would be eliminated from the equation.
