This is from Roderick C. Meredith's January 13, 2010 Co-Worker Letter.
Before I close, dear brethren and co-workers, I want to be sure all of you know that I have appointed our other leading minister, Mr. Richard Ames, the First Vice President of the Living Church of God parent organization in the U.S., as my successor over the whole Work. In fact he has been in this position of First Vice President working right here with me for some time now and has proved himself to be one of the most dedicated, balanced and loyal servants of God on earth. With that in mind, and with my increased age, I will be asking him to write these co-worker messages and other letters from time to time in the future. So I hope you will welcome his participation, and that you will pray for him that God will guide him, protect him and use him increasingly.
I am indebted to LCG apologist Bob Theil for this information.

ReplyDeleteThe spinoff groups know (and fear) too well what happened when Mr. Armstrong went outside the family line for his successor.
