Re: Camp Meetings. What do you expect out of them?
In this day it seems that there's a lot of wagon circling. Also, the same names are used over and over again. This kind of says to me that in many places there is a certain level of fear among the district leadership who just want something "safe" and predictable.
I know my own UPC experience was/is atypical so I won't rant; but I always heard that camps and conferences were the place to go for "life changing" experiences. Invariably I always left those places feeling sort of "let down" all the time, at least when it came to the "life changing" evening services. I usually really got into the Bible teaching and often wondered why the whole schedule wasn't done to accommodate that.
