Adjunct Professor
Receives National Recognition
(The following news item appeared in the AG NEWS #805: February 12, 2003.
AG News is an e-newsletter put out by the Assemblies of God (www.ag.org).

Richard Hammar,
the legal counselor for the Assemblies of God headquarters in Springfield, Mo., was named
one of the 50 most influential Christians in America in the January 2003 edition of the
“Church Executive" magazine.
Hammar's influence crosses all denominational lines as he is one of the
nation's top legal experts on church law. His "Church Law and Tax Report" is
required reading by leadership in many denominations. According to "Church Executive,"
most churches in America operate based on Hammar's interpretation of the law.
"I was taken totally by surprise when I was informed of this
recognition," Hammar said. "But it demonstrates something I tell my 4th grade
Sunday school class every week—if you place God first in your life, and do your very
best to use the talents He has given you, there is no limit to what you can do."
