Hollywood has the Oscars.

Masons has the Order of Royal and Select Masters.

UPCI has the Order of Faith.

The sports industry has the Hall of Fame.

WPF has the Hall of Faith.

It’s where the industry gets together and pats themselves on the back. Most organizations do it. It is called self-promotion. Maybe they’ll fine tune it and have copper, silver and gold levels of the Prestige awards. They can call it the Presties. It may be modeled on the Masonic order. I think Ray Stevens wrote a song about it.

Seriously?!

I noticed that they have sponsors for their “convention”. “Christian” sponsors of course. I noticed they weren’t affirmed to be Pentecostal or Apostolic. Money does influence people. The sponsors were even allowed in the sacred desk, I mean pulpit, excuse me . . . lectern.

I dont know anything about that really. I know they helped my mother when she was a child and sent her to Shriners Children's Hospital so she could get the medical care that she needed.


My mother was born disabled with some pretty serious complications.


When I see Shriners, thats what I think of...not how "weird" they are or whether or not some church let them behind their "sacred desk".


I just remembered the Ray Stevens song from when I was a kid.

Allow me to clarify. I didn’t mean that the Shriners has sponsors for their convention. Rather the UPCI has sponsors for THEIR convention.

And I agree that the Shriners do a lot of good. They shame us. In a weird way. The people that UPCI let behind the lectern (in the video) were an Insurace executive and someone from a bank? IIRC

Wow. Do they get to wear some sort of medal or something?

Maybe a sash? A sword?

How does it make the rank and file pastor in the trenches feel to not be included in the Prestigious Order of the Faith?
The formal title is Order of the Faith. The article used an adjective to describe the title as "prestigious." It's really not that hard to understand. A big clue is the word "Prestigious" isn't capitalized.

"""WV's own Rev. Daniel and Joretta Scott were inducted into the prestigious Order of the Faith of the United Pentecostal Church International at the 2012 annual General Conference."""

My father was inducted years ago, so I've seen the documents and medal and the title.

First, this is a banquet at General Conference, not a church service. Second, what's wrong with a company sponsoring a banquet?

Growing up, the church school I attended had sponsors for both the school yearbook and the graduation banquet.

Good grief.

Thank you. Wow, that was pretty easy.
