Fisher one An elder is not removed for health or old age.
Fisherman I know this used to be the case. Many other people have said the same thing you have.
However unless I'm going barmy - and can anyone help me out here - I was sure a couple of years ago they put some age cap on being an elder??? It was like 75 or something? Same for COs?
I'm seeing so many elders say what you're saying Fisherman. That age or even infirmity isn't a bar to be an elder and certainly not a GB (well we know Freddie remained even as he really deteriorated). But I was sure that they made that announcement about age restrictions for elders....???
