NAR founder C. Peter Wagner says State of Delaware paid him tribute

NAR founder C.  Peter Wagner says he has been given a tribute by the State of Delaware.

Richard Bartholomew has the details. We’ll have to take C. Pete’s word for it, there is nothing on the State of Delaware General Assembly site. There is nothing from anyone except C. Pete. Either he was given a tribute, he was hoodwinked, or he is doing some hoodwinking. Given this supposedly happened January 19th, I would think an official copy of an official tribute would have been put up on some official State of Delaware website by now. This is after all supposedly from the state House of Representatives and it’s a far cry from a mayor handing Wagner a key to the city of Seaford. The city website  has no mention of tributes and keys being handed out January 19th, nor is there any mention in council meeting agendas for January.  There is nothing on sponsor Daniel Shorts website.There is nothing in the religious news section of WBOC, nothing at WMDT, nothing in community or religion in the two Seaford newspapers…

Here is Wagner’s report of the Apostolic Government in Delaware.

As part of the ceremony, I was officially welcomed as an apostle and authorized to help commission apostles to the state. The mayor of Seaford (a committed believer) read the Commendation from his office and presented me with the key to the city. This was followed by a Tribute complete with the seal of the Sussex County Council, a Tribute with the seal of the Senate of the State of Delaware, and a Tribute from the House of Representatives of the State of Delaware read personally by the representative of the district.

State of Delaware House of Representatives. Tribute. Be it known to all that the House of Representatives recognizes Dr. C. Peter Wagner As an Apostle For the Occasion of Commissioning Apostles in the State of Delaware.   On this special day of the Commissioning Service, we honor Dr. C. Peter Wagner for his many years of faithful service to the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and the advancement of His Kingdom. ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens: I know your works. See I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it.” Rev. 3:7.’ The House of Representatives extends its sincere congratulations and directs this tribute to be presented on this 19^th day of January 2012. (Signed) Robert F. Gilligan, Speaker of the House; Richard L. Puffer, Chief Clerk of the House, Representative Daniel B., Short, Sponsor.”

Update: Rachel Tabachnick, an outstanding researcher at Talk2Action has confirmed what the State of Delaware has done. This goes far beyond a Republican, Democrat issue and I think the call to educate people about the New Apostolic Reformation is a wise one. via: Sola Dei Gloria
Full Statement from the Delaware House Democratic Caucus

To be clear, in no way does a tribute represent nor should it be interpreted as an endorsement by the Delaware House of Representatives. The House does not vote on tributes. They are requested and sponsored by a specific Representative or Representatives.

Unfortunately, Dr. Wagner seemingly has mischaracterized the intent of this tribute to be an endorsement by the Delaware House of Representatives. We want to be absolutely clear that the House of Representatives does not endorse Dr. Wagner or his organization.
