Robert Meeker

 

On this date in 2015, the 82nd General Assembly celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the ordination and installation Robert Meeker as a ruling elder at Calvary OPC in Glenside, Pennsylvania. At the thirty-fourth (1968) General Assembly meeting at Westfield, New Jersey, Bob was elected to the newly created Committee on Ministerial Training. The Committee members, Jay Adams, Meredith Kline, Luder Whitlock, Henry Coray, and John Smith, in turn elected Bob as the Committee chairman. In the years that followed, Bob served as a commissioner of the Presbytery of Philadelphia to twenty-eight general assemblies. He was elected to the Committee on Pensions in 1992 and the Committee on Arrangements in 1999.

A servant of servants, Bob's love for his Savior and his brothers and sisters in the Lord has been an encouragement to many far and wide in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. In retirement, Bob now resides at the Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community.
