Zion Church Ordains New Term Elders
By John Barrett
Beginning in 2008, Zion Presbyterian Church in Charlottetown, P.E.I., be- gan phasing in the Term Elder system within their session, rather than Life Service. As such, a number of Life Service elders have been retiring each time new Term Elder elections have taken place. It is hoped that the con- version to a fully “Term Service” ses- sion will be complete in the year 2021.
On Oct. 14, 2018, Zion Church or- dained seven new Term Elders and welcomed back into active service Douglas MacDonald who was both a former elder and Clerk of Session.
Also of interest was the ordination of Emma Stetson who, to the best of our knowledge, is the youngest elder elected to Zion’s session in the 172 year history of the congregation.
With the addition of these eight new elders and following the nine retirements of both Term and Life Service elders, the Zion session now consists of 24 active members. Meeting monthly and at other times when required, the session of Zion Church is a vibrant and progressive group of committed Christian leaders who collectively possess a true love and commitment to God’s work and the people of Zion’s congregation.
