Has the Kingdom of God (righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost) been lost in the trappings of meat and drink? Have we disinherited our spiritually born, full blood brethren when only the earnest of the inheritance is actually ours? Have we sought our differences to the detriment of our likeness?
I am concerned that one of the other things that accompanies devolution is often genocide. God forbid that we would bite and devour one another as though we were the enemy.
The UPC needs to reestablish itself on the basic and fundamental doctrine as stated in the articles of faith and they need to recommit to the principle of unity!
Enough of my rambling... I will try to respond in a more structured manner later.

Hello, Phil.
Isn't this what the AS was supposed to have accomplished?
