I assumed that although he says it took him 25 years to get back in the
church, it didn't mean that he'd *just* gotten back in. Certainly, if he's
only *just* gotten back into the fellowship of Christians, he should be
given more time to sort out his knowledge of the Word, to build up
relationships and trust, set up some system of accountability, make sure
he's spiritually on-track with everything else before being given a
leadership role.

However, if he was simply away for 25yrs but been back for enough time to
get his doctrine and walk sorted, along with having built up relationships
with the people, etc., I think there's nothing wrong with giving him the
responsibility, as long as he stays accountable. Everyone's gotta start
somewhere. :o)

I certainly think that being a WL is a position of heavy responsibility, and
not a role to be taken lightly.
