Report of the Leadership Development Committee

to Nashville Presbytery – April 2012

The Leadership Development Committee held a regularly stated meeting, March 20

th, 2012,

12:00-9:00pm, at CPC-Nashville. The report for the meeting is as follows:

LDC reports the following to Nashville Presbytery:

1) LDC conducted the transfer exam of TE Dr. Michael Frazier, an honorably retired military

chaplain, who is coming to us from Louisiana Presbytery, which is dissolving.

2) LDC conducted the transfer exam of TE Brandon Eggar, who is being called as pastor of Trinity

PCA in Murfreesboro.

3) LDC conducted the licensure exam of RE Tim Tan.

4) LDC conducted the licensure transfer exam of Cam Clausing. As a reminder, re: licentiates from

other Presbyteries, BOC says:

19-5. When any licentiate shall have occasion to remove from the bounds of his Presbytery into those of another, the latter Presbytery may, at its discretion, on his producing proper testimonials from the former, repeat any portion of the previous Presbytery’s examination it desires. The Presbytery into whose bounds the licentiate is moving, however, must at least examine the man concerning: a. his Christian experience, b. his call to preach the Gospel, c. his views in theology, d. Bible content, e. church government. This Presbytery then may license him to preach within its bounds.

5) LDC conducted the transfer exam of TE Drew Martin, who is transferring to NP without call, as

he is a doctoral student at Vanderbilt. This falls under BCO 13-6, which gives Presbyteries the

allowance to receive a minister without call, “whose circumstances appear to require relocation

within the boundaries of that Presbytery.”

6) LDC received an informational report from committee member, Matt Bradley re: our out of

bounds TE’s.

LDC recommends the following actionable items:

1) That Nashville Presbytery approve the transfer and call of TE Dr. Michael Frazier from Louisiana

Presbytery.

2) That Nashville Presbytery approve the transfer of TE Brandon Eggar from North Texas

Presbytery.

3) That Nashville Presbytery license RE Tim Tan.

4) That Nashville Presbytery license Cam Clausing.

5) That Nashville Presbytery receive the transfer of TE Drew Martin from Central Carolina

Presbytery.

6) That Nashville Presbytery hear a report from TE Matt Bradley re: our out of bounds ministers.

There will be four recommendations related to calls of four ministers from the LDC for NP to

approve. These are basically things that need to be approved to clean up some of our records.

LDC Chairman will also briefly update Presbytery on select under care candidates, as well as,

upcoming opportunities for ministerial enrichment and education in 2012 thru weekend conferences

with WTS professors.

All pertinent documents attached.
