Granted Pope Francis's blessing!
The Catholic Church in Singapore has a new archbishop, and he is Archbishop William Goh.
In a statement, the Archdiocese in Singapore said Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Archbishop Nicholas Chia at noon in Rome on Saturday, or 6pm Singapore time.
With that, Co-adjutor Archbishop Goh became the Archbishop of Singapore.
He was appointed as successor to Archbishop Chia in an elaborate ordination ceremony on 22 February 2013 that was witnessed by some 14,000 people at the Max Pavilion.
Following the ordination, he became known as Co-adjutor Archbishop, to be confirmed as Archbishop with the Holy See's acceptance of his predecessor's resignation.
Delegate and Leadership
Exodus 18:17-25
Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you are doing is not good. “You will surely wear out, both yourself and these people who are with you, for the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone. “Now listen to me: I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You be the people’s representative before God, and you bring the disputes to God, then teach them the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way in which they are to walk and the work they are to do. “Furthermore, you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens. “Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be that every major dispute they will bring to you, but every minor dispute they themselves will judge. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. “If you do this thing and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all these people also will go to their place in peace.”
So Moses listened to his father-in-law and did all that he had said. Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens.
