They want to proselytize "every licensed minister in the UPC" but not come right out and say that is what they are doing. I personally am disappointed in the way they appear to be going about this.

It just seems like so much of the same old thing that put me off toward the UPCI several years ago. They dance around crafting what they say to try and avoid ever being pinned down to a real stand. Then they tell you that the whole dance was neccesitated by their need to "take a stand." It's like trying to nail jello to the wall.

Ask them, "Specifically, take a stand where...?" and the music starts again and they all start dancing. Is this a new org? More dancing.

Steadfast told us of a UPC official who shows up at a meeting with one of the coordinators and we're told there is no intention of a split. We are assured that all that kind of talk is just hype. Then an "anonymous(?)" email goes out apparently signed by one of the coordinators- he says "a new direction" but we won't act like the AMF when we leave.

Dance, dance wherever you may be...

WORDS OF WISDOM. This is the kind of dance I saw in the UPCI, so I danced right out the door and been dancing for Jesus ever since!!
