Almost a decade of youth director experience is now no longer enough qualification? I know Matthew Propes and have spoken for him on occasion. I've also spoken at many other camps within our denomination and have seen nothing to suggest he is any less qualified than any other of our fine youth directors. In fact, I think he is one of the MOST qualified that we have! He has a pulse on what God is doing in youth culture today and the guys who work on his boards love him and support him 100%. I recently had a conversation with a few of them. It's obvious to me that you do not, in fact, know Bishop Matthew Propes. You are planting seeds of discord, IMO, and it does not honor God in any way. If you feel he is unqualified to do the job (as many probably felt David was), how about praying for him rather than speculating? God would be much more pleased with that avenue, I'm certain
