Subject: Officer of a church worship elsewhere? |
Bible Note: Greetings, friend and brother Charis! How loathe I am to attempt to correct a parson! The last time I pulled the stunt, the preacher left the church. (I corrected him on his pronunciation of Dostoevsky). But the Scriptures do speak of the "office" of overseers and deacons (1 Tim 3:1, 10, 13 KJV). So wouldn't he who holds an office properly be called officer? I served on both the session and the diaconate of the Presbyterian Church for years; we were known as officers of the church. Blessings from the Occident to the Orient! --Hank |
