There was another post asking about who the new AB is for Mississippi. However, rumors began to fly about why the former AB resigned so that post was removed. Nothing at all against the one who first made the post but some of the followup ones kind of got out of hand.There are times when good people resign. Some of those rumors began to be less than complimentary and it seemed nobody at the time, knew exactly what had happened.Has a new AB been appointed? If you have

They have came a long way.
Good post. I agree.
Thank you Tony for the fine summation and critical appraisal of the COG
Where can we read the full text of the Israel resolution?
And where is the statement/decision on heterosexual marriage which was not broadcasted during general business session? Does anyone else have them?
Rick, what exactly do you mean by “critical appraisal”?
Guess it was more important to put out a statement on the Fifty Shades of Grey movie?
You may be on something here. This was just published:
No dog in the fight here, but it seems to me that as long as both purported sides approach each other with such presumptuously dismissive, condemning rhetoric it’s going to be difficult to have anything but a fight. It seems to me that there is an element in the Church that vehemently displays such a suppositional superiority of position that there is no room for mutual respect – the ground upon which a genuinely productive conversation can begin.
We have your back. With friends like us, you don’t need enemies.
There has been a Statement on Church of God Protests Terrorist Violence
“The massacre of 21 Egyptian Christians by ISIS speaks to an agenda of terror, hatred, intolerance and violence that must be addressed by all individuals created in God’s image. We must repudiate all acts of terror; without exception.
Recognizing that today’s complacency is tomorrow’s captivity, as followers of Christ we recognize that silence is not an option, and call upon all Christians on Sunday, February 22 to allocate a minute of silence followed by a prayer reflecting upon the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians murdered and all others who have lost their lives at the hands of terror, as well as their grieving families.
Further, we call upon the President of the United States of America and Congress to specifically address the persecution of Christians by ISIS, Islamic totalitarianism and regimes in the Middle East; and call upon the United Nations to convene a summit on Christian persecution around the world.
Correspondingly, we stand convicted and convinced that terror and intolerance cannot, and will not, extinguish the light of God’s grace, truth and love. For at the end of the day we stand upon the promises from Scripture, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs” (Matthew 5:10); and “The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ” (Matthew 16:18)”.
