Podcast: Bishop James King on ‘Preaching Authority’

November 17, 2009 by MethodistThinker

The latest MethodistThinker Podcast features a sermon by Bishop James King, episcopal leader of the United Methodist Church’s South Georgia Conference.

Bishop James King in 2001

Before being elected to the episcopacy in 2000, James R. King, Jr. served as a pastor in Alabama, California, and Tennessee, and as a District Superintendent in the Tennessee Conference.

Prior to being assigned last year to South Georgia, Bishop King served for eight years as the leader of the Kentucky Annual Conference.

In August 2008, Bishop King was elected president of the General Commission on United Methodist Men.
