UPC Affirmation Statement
Well I just got my UPC Affirmation Statement in the mail... The question looms large... "To Sign or Not to Sign?"

Perhaps that decision has been made easier this year for some yet for others more difficult than ever...

The cover letter that the late Nathaniel Urshan prefaced the first Affirmation Statement with, reminding all of us that each church is autonomous, is probably every licensed minister's saving grace in signing every other year... For I am not sure that anyone believes and preaches everything in the AOF.. IMO.

The AS is a joke, to appease the very ones that are threatening now to leave, so it did not work.

You might have hit the nail on the head right there...

I have heard that some Pastor's just get someone else to sign it for them.

So forgery is better than lying?

Is it that much trouble to just finish spelling the whole word. This is a forum, not a text messaging service.

Are you sure... There is a lot of stuff in there... I know people that don't believe and preach everything in there and I know people that add a lot to it...
