Within The Salvation Army leadership changes have been announced for the general move in the summer. Our leaders are not caught up in this, this year. The following is something that is doing the 'rounds' at the moment - you might have seen it already. However, maybe this outlines what we need to be looking for in the future months?
Corps Officer Chain Letter
The results of a computerized survey indicate that the perfect officer preaches for exactly fifteen minutes. He condemns sins, but never upsets anyone. He works from eight in the morning until midnight, and is also the caretaker. He earns £50 a week, wears good clothes, buys good books, drives a good car, and gives £50 a week to the poor.He is 28 years old and has preached 30 years. He has a burning desire to work with teenagers, but spends all of his time with senior citizens. The perfect officer smiles all the time because he has a sense of humour, but keeps a straight face as he's seriously dedicated to his work. He makes 15 pastoral visits a week to families, shut-ins and anyone in hospital, but is always in his office when needed.If your officer does not measure up, simply send this letter to six other corps that are tired of their officer too. Then bundle up your officer and send him to the corps on the top of the list. In one week, you will receive 1,643 officers and one of them will be perfect.Have faith in this procedure. One corps broke the chain and got its old officer back in less than three weeks! So don't break the chain

Oh dear. I guess that counts me out as a future leader, especially since i'm not a man!lol We should not be looking for the perfect leaders yet looking to the perfect God! This is very funny and now I have the perfect excuse not to become an officer!
