EVERYONE I've spoken to were (a) relieved that it was NOT allowed to be a 'bash UPC' meeting and (b) blessed by the 'no pressure to break ties' atmosphere that was there.
Those are great men and, trust me, I know each of the coordinators personally and they are well able to speak exactly what they feel and believe... even if it hurts you to hear it. They had a great spirit and I'm glad they conducted themselves with more dignity than some of the forum posters have shown towards their efforts.
In closing, I've watched you and seen your postings. I genuinely think you're a sincere individual. I also think that you would have found a kindred sincerity there. Don't believe everything you hear on these forums!

First of all, thanks for the respect. I am very pleased that these men conducted themselves in a Godly manner. I am pleased that there was a good spirit and that they condoned no UPC bashing and that they made that clear. My worry or feelings of concern is in the fact that the very action seems so rediculous to me, to find a "perferred direction". We are the church and God does not glory in our finding our own way of doing things but in coming together to do things. He is pleased for men to dwell together in unity, not to be headed in different directions.
By in large, fundamentaly, we all believe the same thing. It just seem less than right to not be able to come together to accomplish this endtime push for revival.
I've watched several of these men all of my life. I have admired their stand for God and leadership. I am just dissapointed this has happened.
I am not crying, I am dissappointed! I think things could have been different.
Yes, I am sincere, but NO you would not find me in the Tulsa crowd. I Don't believe so!
By the way, steadfast....I amire your posts....usually!
