Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Looks like a prominent Memphis, TN area UPC pastor has unexpectedly suddenly resigned after 20 years.
I was told that on Sunday visitors were asked to leave, told that they were not having service and at that point the pastor came out and announced his resignation.
While this church is not a "mega church" it is a fairly large one (around 800 members according to their website) and has been stable for years so I am sure they will have no problem finding a new pastor.
Will be interesting to see where the resigning pastor goes.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
