Bishop Patrick Wooden has responded to narrowly missing the Church of God in Christ General Assembly board.
Wooden is the Senior Pastor of the Upper Room Church of Christ in Raleigh, NC.
He's built a reputation for being an outspoken proponent of conservative issues. His rhetoric, especially as it pertains to LGBT issues, can sometimes be perceived by some as shocking and offensive.
During the 2024 election cycle, he was a public supporter of embattled North Carolina gubernatorial candidate, Mark Robinson, who lost in a landslide to rival Josh Stein.
Members of the General Assembly were voted on during Holy Convocation, where John Drew Sheard was re-elected as Presiding Bishop.
The 12-members of the General Assembly include the following:
Presiding Bishop J. Drew Sheard of Michigan
Bishop Jerry W. Macklin of California
Bishop Lawrence M. Wooten of Missouri
Bishop Elijah H. Hankerson, III-Missouri
Bishop Linwood E. Dillard-Tennessee
Bishop Frank A. White-New York
Bishop Darrell L. Hines-Wisconsin
Bishop Michael E. Hill, Sr.-Michigan
Bishop Brandon B. Porter-Tennessee
Bishop Prince E. Bryant, Sr. -Texas
Bishop Jerry L. Maynard, Sr. -Tennessee
Bishop Charles H. McClelland-Wisconsin
In his response to his loss, Bishop Wooden stated that he didn't respond like a "sissy" (a perjorative term for an oversensitive boy or man).
Nevertheless, he seemed please that he placed 13th in his first outing to become a General Assembly member.
