I had to pass this along after running into it online the other evening. I shook my head in disbelief when I saw it. There is a ministry now to help pastors "secure your continual leadership role within the local church with Apostolic By-Laws." You read it right. It takes away all voting rights of members and puts the pastor in complete control. It was ummm.... enlightening skimming the site.
This so-called Apostle's church affiliation, is some prophetic type of Pentecostalism and he held license with the AOG. The wife is a so-called Prophetess. He will help churches write or re-write their by-laws to make the church a 'theocracy' and give the pastor full power. And for a cost of just under $1300! I believe for an additional cost, you can have this self-proclaimed Apostle and his other ministry be the church or pastor's 'covering.' Just what unhealthy churches need- a way to ensure a pastor holds full power and control!
I also found basically the same site, without the apostle and prophetess titles at churchby-laws.com. I don't think by the use of 'apostolic,' that they mean what organizations such as the UPC mean.
The link where this by-law kit is found is: http://www.apostolicbylaws.com/home
