I watched two of our pastors go through a three year transition of leadership, and it was just phenomenal. I'm amazed that Dr. Kennedy did not work with the church leaders to prepare the congregation, his family--anyone--by mentoring a replacement and going through a transition.Vicki Smallhttp://passionsforthesoul.typepad.com/vickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-45922518690554143182009-08-13T07:21:18.959-04:002009-08-13T07:21:18.959-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bryonmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483341910569645033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-18002580010410287302009-08-13T07:21:16.748-04:002009-08-13T07:21:16.748-04:00Wow.

I believe some of the best leaders are ones that prepare for the transitions of life and groom a successor. Dr. Kennedy never had anyone in place that would be "next in line". It's a shame that Coral Ridge is going through this, but I believe it all could have been avoided had the founder/leader stepped aside at an appropriate time and guided the church through the transition and given it "his blessing". His health wasn't a "suddenly" thing and it could've all been handed over prior to his passing. So sad that it has come to this. Great church...

They are full of lies, vague generalizations, and just terrible things to say about one's pastor. Further, they were banned from coming to services because they were putting petitions on people's cars during the service and cornering people in the church foyer trying to get them to sign. Tullian has been nothing but humble and patient, but enough is enough.<br /><br />If you want to see the actual letters, you might check out this blog:<br /><br />http://www.blackandwhiteministries.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I don't know who's behind this blog, but they are doing a good job of spreading FACTS.luannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-71589621479980540882009-08-12T21:23:52.504-04:002009-08-12T21:23:52.504-04:00When my husband first told me about the battle goi...When my husband first told me about the battle going on in CR and who was at the forefront of the opposition, my sympathies lay with the new pastor (Billy Graham's grandkid?). Then he told me that "the pastor is being very heavy handed...he's banning every dissenter, on threat of arrest." 'Scuze me??<br /><br />Is there any room for the love of Jesus, for compassion, empathy and integrity on either side, in this mess?Vicki Smallhttp://passionsforthesoul.typepad.com/vickinoreply@blogger.com
