P.S. Remember, my real reason for leaving the UPCI is out of a deep conviction against television and advertising on television.

In his well written letter, Pastor Morton shares that he has been part of the United Pentecostal Church for 48 years. He was a licensed United Pentecostal minister before there was a ban on television advertising. Unless I am mistaken he applied for credentials and obtained license with an organization that did not have a ban on television advertising. It would seem that his convictions have changed since he first became a UPCI minister. I have no more argument with Pastor Morton's convictions changing than with the UPC striking a thirty year old policy from the books.
The United Pentecostal Church has a solid prohibition against its ministers having television in their homes. If this rule is not enforced, it's a problem with the politicians and not weakness in the policy.
