So Tony is still pastoring? From Cleveland to Fla________________Recorded Sermons @ http://www.pastorwiley.com

I had a personal conversation with Tony Stewart about his church in Tampa some time back. While he is still technically the pastor, he is mostly removed from the active role of pastoring. He is more of a pastor emeritus, but hasn’t adopted that title. In the transition he relinquished almost all compensation from the church to make room for adding on someone to oversee operations on campus.

I know plenty of people who pastor large ministries that delegate a majority of the day-to-day work to a strong executive pastor. There’s nothing wrong with that. I know a guy right now that he’s gone probably 4 days a week preaching across the country. He said that’s his calling to evangelize, but God also laid on his heart to plant churches so he has church in Pennsylvania and Dallas, Texas. He has a team there Running operations. I don’t see the whole concept that you have to give up sell your horse to go to Cleveland. It seems like an unfair Control by those who’ve done, nothing else. You have lifelong politicians in the church that know the swamp throughout then you have somebody outside come in. Yeah I would be a little hesitant to go into the swamp. There’s nothing wrong with what Tony’s doing honestly, I could see Tony planning five churches right now and doing his duties. It’s called delegation of responsibilities It’s called management

The positions that these 2 men currently hold are not up for reelection this time. Unless they are voted to another position they will remain where they currently are for another 2 years.

There shouldn’t be an election for these positions. Bros. Stewart and Lewis were both elected to 4 year terms 2 years ago.
