tzb, Priest, Announcement, 2016

Congratulations

Congratulations!

I hereby renounce my clerical oaths and obligations, and ask that all clerical rank be rescinded from me immediately.

I, as many others, have low tolerance for bench-warmer ministers who retain clerical rank when they are not engaged in clerical practice. I will certainly not become one myself.

My time in the clergy is done, my thanks to the brothers and sisters who made it possible.

I respect your choice and appreciate your example, though I will be sad to see you leave. You contribution has been profound and we will benefit from your work long after you have left our CLergy.

Thank you, tzb.

Ah Tzb. As Cabur has said you have been an excellent clergy member. A lot of people stand on your shoulders. Thanks so much!

Sad to see you go. Be well.

Sorry to hear that brother, we need more people like you around here. It is a fact that the clergy need a restructuring and this is a topic that needs to be raised for next year. Thank you for your good work TZB

Thank you for everything you have done and do even now, Stu.

Thank you for having been my apprentice, and my teacher, and my friend ...

Positions and titles are fleeting ; some things go on well beyond them.

A week on, I'm still shown as a Priest.

I'd really appreciate it if this could be rectified, particularly given my resignation has been acknowledged by two Councillors in this thread.

I originally said congrats without reading your post, now I can't get my reply to this thread off. My apologies!
