Yes. We are in a conference of churches, with a president of the conference, who serves as a pastor in one of the churches. He is not an apostle, and he does not claim direct revelation from God. My last church was similar to that, as well. For the most part, while the churches all agree on a statement of faith, we do not have a leader dictating to us what our doctrines are.

There's also that celibacy requirement.

OK, I'll give it a shot. But I get to wear jeans, forgo the silly hat, and keep my male concubine.

Congratulations Pope M-Queen! It's a new time and new world, so you get to initiate the new standards to be in place for the next 73 years, or until we destroy ourselves.

Why 73 years?

I won't be here that long, personally. Already looking at 60 this year.

LOL. It wasn't meant that you would live that long, just that your new precedent and legacy would live on to that length of time. Why 73? I don't know... just chose an oddball number. I'm not too far behind you in age, and hopefully we'll both make it past the world destruction part
