Come to think of it, the last time the Bishop accepted a recommendation from the YM President regarding a calling, it was me for Scoutmaster.
Now I am understanding why the Bishop goes his own way. |

BTW, I didn't know '71 was a former bishop. Is that true? Quote:
The understanding you lack is this: the auxiliaries recommend, the bishop calls. The moment you've decided in your mind that the Spirit you received about a given recommendation should supersede the what the Bishop receives, you've overstepped your bounds, his human frailties notwithstanding. |

I am of the opinion that priesthood keys are one of the least understood gospel topics. Priesthood leaders receive revelation based on their stewardship. There is nothing inconsistent about an EQP being inspired that Brother Jones should be his secretary and the Bishop at the same time receiving inspiration that he should be in YM. The EQP has no keys for the YM.

WHen I was executive secretary in a bishoproc a few years ago we had a sister in the ward who was a real superstar. Capbhle, charitable, friendly, loving, talented, she had it all and everybody loved her and I bnever saw her atempt something that didn't result in a great sucess. The intersting thing is that every time, and I mean EVERY time there was a reorganization of some auxialliary, or there was an opening ofr a teacher, she was asked for by the organization. If the bishop had given her to every body that asked, she would have changed clalings at least once a month and I am not exaggerating.
I think it is a little like finding someone to marry. You find someone that is right for you but they are not the ONLY one that could ever be right for you. Callings are like this. I have no doubt that most or even all of the people asking for this sister were indeed correct that she was perfect for the job, but she was not the only one and others could and did serve in those spots with success as well. The bishop has to eb the final word and it is his stewardship to so act.

This comment says you don't understand:

In such instances, my action would be, "whatever you've already decided bishop."

Certainly it's a better option than metaphorically taking your ball and going home. Most bishops appreciate their auxiliaries' input. Last edited by Tex; 06-10-2008 at 03:48 PM. |
