Titus
A Gentile partner of Paul left in charge of the church on Crete, and recipient of the New Testament letter that bears his name.
Titus is described by Paul as his "true child in a common faith." He was Gentile (uncircumcised), and Paul refused to compel his circumcision.
He served as a trusted envoy to Corinth and was left in Crete to "put what remained into order."
Paul's letter to him centers on what a healthy church and a godly leader look like.
