I'm curious why the need for so many Vice-presidents? Everyone knows a vice-prez job usually amounts to a whole lot of nothing. Why would you need five guys doing that? Wouldn't placing these shepards out in the harvest field be a better use of their talents? Just wondering exactly what five vice-presidents really do....hmmm.

Anonymous, After the First Vice-President, the others are largely figurehead positions historically. The pastors in positions 2-5 keep their old jobs.
