You guys ever go to UPCI.org? Look at the LEFT HAND column. That statement has been on the UPCI home page since March of 1997. Ten years+ is an eternity on the web.
The link that gives more "about" info restates this and gives further numbers.
Quibble with Bro Eastman if you will, but he was citing the "official" account of the UPCI. I remember the PPH Elective Series booklet entitled About the UPCI which opened with this statement; that was from some time in the 1980's. |
I just wanted to know which stats Eastie was referring to.
By the way, does anyone know how they calculate the membership of the UPCI? Is it by Easter Sunday morning attendance? Or, is it by registered members in a congregation?
