As I've discussed in a previous post, our church has one Bishop over a large Area. The Area is divided into seven Regions, each with its own Poobah. Therefore the Bishop is assisted by seven Regional Poobahs (RPs). Currently, two of these RPs are women and five are men. Being an RP is not easy. It entails enormous responsibility. Whenever a church or pastor has a serious issue, challenge, or threat, the RP is called in. Therefore it is essential that each RP conduct himself or herself with the demeanor befitting such an important office. It is a serious and crucial endeavor. The healthy functioning of an entire region is under the RP's purview. The implication is clear: every RP carries himself or herself in a way that engenders great respect. The message is unmistakable: Few are chosen for a position with responsibilities of such magnitude and one's personal presence should reflect that gravity. This is the message that RPs convey.
Shown above is J.L., the new RP of the Central City region, totally not getting this message.
