It was the ulta cons who wanted to force the PCI doctrine out of the UPCI that worked the change the UPCI.

I am for the UPCI being an organization of men (both PCI and W/S) who seek to share the Gospel and believe that Acts 2:38 is the proper response to the Gospel.

Any conservitive that can work within the framework that was created in 1948 is welcome too.
So I wonder...when the UPC first formed and these men put on a face of "unity" did they really know deep inside we could never be a United group with different views?

All this talk about "history" and tradition....We should really look at history. What it looks like is someone hijacked this org and now it's being rehijacked?
