Kevin Paysinger Appointed to National Church Position
The Paysingers have made news twice this week: first, by announcing their pregnancy and, second, in an article on CEC Home, the Patriarch’s forum for announcing news to the international communion. The Patriarch, Archbishop Craig Bates, has appointed Kevin to be the Chancellor for Charismatic Episcopal Church of North America. The position makes Kevin chief legal counsel to the Patriarch as well as the legal representation for the Charismatic Episcopal Church in North America. Congratulations to Kevin and Amanda both! We are so proud of you and will be praying for you both! Click HERE to read the article on CEC Home.
