Board of General Superintendents
junshan0202 发表于 2012/7/23 16:11:00 |
The highest elected office in the Church of the Nazarene is that of Moncler Jackets Sale. Every four years six ordained elders, who are at least 35 years old and are not over 68 years old, are elected by the General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene for a four-year term. Both ordained females and males are eligible to be elected to the office of General Superintendent. However of the thirty-nine persons who have served in this office, Dr. (born 1940), who served for four years from 2005, is the only female who has been elected. The youngest person elected General Superintendent was (1883–1946), who was only 32 when chosen to fill a vacancy caused by the deaths of (1837–1915) and (1866–1915), both of whom died within weeks of the 1915 General Assembly. Wilson is the shortest-serving General Superintendent, dying only 33 days after his election at the age of 47. R.T. Williams was the longest-serving general superintendent, who served for just over 30 years from January 1916 to his death in March 1946. Eight of the first eleven General Superintendents died in office, resulting in both the expansion in the number of general superintendents, and an upper age limit of 72. Dr (1854–1938), one of the original two General Superintendents elected in October 1907, holds the record as the oldest person to serve in this office, retiring in 1932, at the age of 78.
Collectively these six elders constitute the Board of General Superintendents, which is, according to the denominational website, "charged with the responsibility of administering the worldwide work of the Church of the Nazarene. The Board of General Superintendents also interprets the denomination's book of , the Manual of the Church of the Nazarene." All official acts of the Board of General Superintendents are subject to the review of the General Assembly, the supreme legislative body in the denomination. At the 2009 General Assembly, General Superintendents (born 1949), was re-elected to a fourth term; (born 1942) was re-elected to a third term; and (born 1945) was re-elected to another four-year term. In addition, , from Moncler
Down Vests Women, was elected the 37th general superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene, thus becoming the first person elected to the Board of General Superintendents from Africa; David W. Graves was elected as the 38th general superintendent; and was elected the 39th general superintendent. |
