What are the chances that Mark Walker becomes the next Lee President? It makes sense. Rumor has it he is being pushed to move toward the G.O. spot again, maybe even next assembly. Tim Hill and his supporters will certainly breathe easier if Walker is tied up at Lee________________Hate to say it, but its trueNew Orleans Bred, Mississippi Led, Hopefully Arizona will be home before I’m dead.
I see something more along the lines of Dr. Baker from PTS taking the position. I believe Walker only has a DMin which will not qualify him to lead a university such as Lee.
I can certainly see Mark Walker as the next Lee University. He is a great man and leader. However, I have never known him to get any votes as General Overseer, so I doubt that Tim Hill supporters are too concerned about that.
They need someone with a Ph.D and experience… Preferably someone who knows Lee very well… I think Walt Mauldin would be a good choice. He worked under Dr. Conn for many years, has the degrees, the experience, and a love for Lee. Right now, he’s getting executive experience at the Home for Children________________———My Facebook http://www.facebook.com/theB3

While it should not be simply a political appointment, it also should not be one without any concern for the Church of God. That’s how we wind up with a leader that is not on fire for God. (Of course, that can happen either way.)I don’t know Walker, but I know (of) his dad, and there is not a bigger name in the Church of God at this point (in terms of dynasty, etc.).I will also add that two of Lee’s greatest leaders did not have Ph.D’s (at least at the time they led): Charles Conn…and Ray H. Hughes. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, NO ONE until Paul Conn had a terminal degree! So that’s not the thing some people are trying to make it.Would Paul Conn really be any less effective without a Ph.D? NO! Energy and renewed vision (one that carried on Conn’s vision) is what is needed, and there is no doctorate in either. For me, I’d rather have someone KNOWN as a man of God…than to have the greatest scholar lead Lee…if his/her heart is not afire of heaven. We are LOST if it’s not a man of God! For Lee to be what it needs to be, I think it must never forget what it began as…and it must never stop being that at its very core.
The PHd would be an asset, but the above statement it what is needed..________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
Mark Walker
Personal Note
Personally I like Mark Walker.I use to attend Mt. Paran North and my very first Sunday there one of the ushers grabbed Mark after service and had him come meet me.Mark and I talked a few minutes and he was very gracious.

Dr. Mike Baker holds an EdD from the University of North Carolina (Greensboro). Thanks ‘S’. That makes me wonder some about a couple more that OTCP declared were honorary. But then maybe a man like Dr. Baker actually was awarded a honorary before he received his REAL Dr. Just curious, are Doctorates (honorary) awarded to Doctorate holders in different fields?Imma tell you I am very ignorant concerning real and honorary ones…. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
