I enjoyed taking a quick break from #GCSession2025 to sit down with @adamramdin and chat about the relationship between science & faith. If you are interested in church history/theology, I highly recommend the Lineage Journey series (YouTube) and accompanying podcast. #GCS25
@dasscherick@DeanCullinane@anthony_bosman All possess free will, thats true. But the ability of many pastors to step down is the subject of another discussion - many struggle with it for a variety of reasons
@dasscherick@DeanCullinane@anthony_bosman Interesting. So you are ok with a 75 year old President but a 48 year old who is extremely gifted but has already served 8 years needs to retire?
I don’t think the church should be asking or expecting people to serve beyond retirement. Let them enjoy their kids/grandkids!
@dasscherick@DeanCullinane@anthony_bosman Perhaps a better solution is not to elect leaders who are past retirement age.
In the UK you'd never elect a 70+ year old as the culture is once you hit 67/68 yrs old you have to retire, but in the US working well into your 70's is normal
@dasscherick@DeanCullinane@anthony_bosman I am not sure the best answer to the evident issue, though my point is term limits do not solve all problems. Some Conf in the US already have them and they have not been fool proof at all, such as when there has been no adequate replacement but you have to change as per policy
@DeanCullinane@dasscherick@anthony_bosman The challenge of term
Limits is in the last term the president can, to a certain degree, do whatever they like or attempt to, knowing they don’t have to try to get back in. Like a certain bigger president is currently doing
@antceee@T_1soundstrings Goold or great player, never will get legend status though. It’s not that he left, but hoe he left. Only signing 4 years in 2021, pretending to negotiate with LFC, but was learning Spanish for 1-2 years and had made his mind up a long time ago to leave for free
@akilhenrymusic@T_1soundstrings What makes it worse it you can’t say he left for money. LFC offered him 350k pw. RM paying him 220k pw.
Trophies? That’s arguably not a motivator either now.
He’s leaving for himself and his Balon D’or ambitions and did the whole process in his own favour
@akilhenrymusic@T_1soundstrings Grealish signed an extension so RM got a fee.
Cunha signed an extension in Feb so Wolves got a fee.
Kane the same.
That list goes on and on
Trent didn’t and bent over backwards to assist RM transfer budget. RM paying for Huijsen £50m makes it even worse as they have money!
@akilhenrymusic@T_1soundstrings I’m saying it to you and every other fan who thinks we should cheer him out the door.
Free transfers are for over 30 yr old players. Not players in their prime and not local world class players. For them they do not happen - except Trent and Sol
