'City Clerk'

As I was reading the book of Acts, I thought of Libya because of this person in Ephesus who quieted the crowd—he was a City Clerk.

I don’t know the equivalent of that position in present day but I was just amazed how his wise words stopped the riot and the crowds disperse and because of that, Paul and other disciples were not harmed.  

May the Lord send peace to Libya.

(The riot in Ephesus was caused by a businessman who makes silver gods. He spread the word that Paul’s faith teaches that man-made gods are not god at all. This made the crowd furious to Paul. Refer to Acts 19)
