We need a stateside and international division of authority. We are too heavy with full time guys at the top. Maybe a USA conference and a few various world conferences of the cog like Asia, Europe, north and south America . It is super easy to take a bunch of people from outside the USA and say it is for diversity when it is in reality a Ploy to keep someone in power. Plus why would the outside of the country folks vote against someone that is providing all these benefits. They get a lot of funding from Cleveland I would agree with this if it means a reduction in assistant overseers positions and spreading out the responsibilities of those positions among those who pastors churches on the council of 24. But what would that look like. Adding more people seems like throwing more unnecessariness in the mix. Unless it means more pastors and more thinking younger. Maybe pastor focused thinking needs to be the next movement in the cog. I know it is probably not this but lets hope That this proposed change is justa way of making the council appear to be more open to pastors rather than just means to keep some officials and overseers that are dependent on the system in the loop. something needs to be done status quo isn’t working. They need to separate the the power structure of world missions. Some guy from Indonesia is not concerned about being state overseer of Kentucky. And the guy from Kentucky does give a rats but about being overseer of Indonesia.
