Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.

So I wonder if the GC report will reject the notion of ordination altogether since it is essentially a catholic practice designed to perpetuate the power and influence of the "bishops"

Hmmm....well....the committee to report on that matter will get back to you....but...what was your question, could you be a little more clear...thats out of line to suggest we follow the RC in any way.....ordination is not man made and we have a committee researchijng for that proof and verification right now....next GC session we will have a report...but in the mean time...well......

Dr. Jankiewicz's suggestion is that the current practice of ordination has its roots in the Catholic church and is a key feature of their notion of apostolic succession. Dr. J suggests that the Biblical foundation for the ordination of pastors is very shaky even non-existent.

Obviously, this is a shocking suggestion for some.
