Don't ask me where i heard it or who told me- not giving that info. but there has been talk of eventually overturning the AS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told you all 4 years ago that a split was coming and many of you laughed and scoffed- well here it is and i'm the one laughing at the naysayers like CC and Painoman to name a few.
I just want to know what your opinions are. would this further destroy the UPC or help it ??

What would removing the affirmation change?
The only possible benefit would be to allow some who disagree with the Articles of Faith to avoid a bi-annual lie.
The damage is done - the young ministers are gone - and I doubt they're coming back if the affirmation dies.
On the bright side - the future of the UPC is not anywhere near as bleak as the new conservative organization's prospects. A handful of senior citizens starting a new denomination is as promising as planting watermelon seeds in the Sahara Desert.
