2005: Succession
 

In March the Baltimore elders selected Pastor Roger Stenger to succeed Pastor Stevens as pastor and chief elder of GGWO.  After a series of events, Pastor Stenger resigned and the elders elected Pastor Tom Schaller.  Pastor Stenger was seen as a peacemaker and sympathetic to the reforms of Sandy Cove, while Pastor Schaller is viewed as more of a hard-liner. 

Some documents are presented here to describe the process, which was a factor in the large scale disaffiliation which occurred shortly thereafter.
