1500 at the Tulsa meeting...question

[Ferd]

I didnt want to hijact the reporting threads... as others have done.

but this number begs the question.

is that a disapointing number?

we were told there would be 2000 there. Now we hear around 1500 with wives and kids.

somewhere around 1000 to 1200 ministers are present. if you figure half are just there to observe, we are talking around a max of 600 willing to step out.

seems to me that this is a pretty small number in the grand scheme of things.

Agreed. The pre-Tulsa predictions stated that a hall seating 2500 had been reserved and that it was expected to be standing room only. Maybe more will trail in as the weekend gets closer.

How many ministers usually show up to vote at General Conference?

1000, 1200, 1500????

1200 ministers is a huge number.

1st meeting. I think some are waiting to see what the response will be - from UPC as well as other ministers.

Pel, I still stand behind my prediction of 1000 ministers leaving and 500 churchs.

I just wonder what % of that number this group will get? seems to me like they are falling short.

Forgive my ignorance...but...how many licensed ministers are there in the UPCI? Ballpark?

I think double that number is more accurate.

What does it cost to go to tulsa? Flight Hotel Food 1000.00 plus. Why would just an "observer" spend this kind of money? Surely the family could enjoy a short vacation within this budget.

Is curiosity worth a grand?
