General Superintendency of the Nazarene Church

In 2005, Bowling declined election as a general superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene, saying that his mission at Olivet Nazarene University was not complete.[1] In 2009, Bowling was again elected to serve as a general superintendent. He accepted, but later rescinded his acceptance.[2]
