Do they have a statement as to their justification for this. My pastor has not inquired about anything from them and yet he recieves their magazine.

I'd recommend him to contact the WPF and request he be taken off their mailing list. I'm sure they would accomodate. If you want their number, and are really that concerned, here it is - www.worldwidepf.com. (and that's not prosthelizing).

I attend a UPC chuch in the ST. LOUIS, MO metro area, and my pastor recieves the TOGETHER magazine. I don't know if he paid for it, but frankly, I'd personally pay the subscription in order for him to recieve it (I pay for my own subscription, as well as one for my father). I'm 54 years old, and have been in a UPC church all my life. (and I've also worked at the Publishing House).

The Bible is our way to salvation not an organization. Why can't people get that through their heads? My parents remember when the UPC was first brought into being. Similar frustrations occured between both "factions". They've also watched the "progress" of both groups from their separation back in the 40's. Do your own research.

I decided to take a "see with my own eyes, and hear with my own ears" approach, rather than listen to all the ministerial gossip. I went to this year's Summit 2009 in Tulsa, and it was greatly refreshing. Perhaps those who read this forum would be better served by eye accounts of their own, rather than the "He said, She said", approach that's sometimes found here.

Yes, I'm UPC. I'll be going to the annual conference (it's only 20 minutes away). And I'll also be going to Summit 2010 in Tulsa next year. Excommunicate me. Jesus still cares anyway.
