Most success is based on numbers; some is based on impact. I can see that. Numbers are concrete. Impact is how each person perceives it based on their own prejudices. Hall of Fame voting is always based on numbers. Well, numbers minus steroids and gambling.
Last night I went to a special fellowship. Normally, fellowships are on Sunday. Why Saturday night? Why did they ask us to dress our best (suit and tie) if possible?
Turned out that one of our bretheren got ordained to the Christian ministry. Normally, I am asked to have 3 songs ready to play. Five this time. I played Wake up America, Easy to love you (Stevie Kay), Gotta be God, Cowboy's father (Dave Lutz off 'Fellow workers with God'), and Putting wings to your prayer (Pressed down). I've played weddings before, but never an ordination ceremony. Powerful stuff. Those songs aren't "old wineskins" to us.

There are a lot of ways to define success. One way that works for me is that you set a goal and reach it. Did The Way do this? Nope.

No numbers to brag about, but impact?

Looks like he was saying that a regular member was given an ordination during that meeting.
I'm not sure if you wanted details beyond that.
