Moderator the tops

Re Letters, October
I do believe that the moderator of each General Assembly should be “The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada” for the following year. Furthermore, this should be our only moderator. Our denomination dilutes its meaning through overuse. For example, each local church vacancy is overseen by an interim moderator.
Canada is headed by a prime minister; each province a premier; and each city a mayor. We should use moderator only for the top position and separate vocabulary for other leadership roles.
