My wife is Greek on her mother's side, and Little Rock Arkansas, on her father's side. I'm Sicilian on both sides. My children speak Greek, and English. But I still must remind everyone who built civilizations. It was the Floridians, with their awesome BBQ! |

Re: UPC, ALJC, PAW, etc.
With most UPC churches in my area of the woods the pastor may be conservative but the congregation as whole isn't necessarily per the UPC manual. My guess is the pastors don't have watch dogs reporting back them like a typical CON church. They are fairly open about attending movies, sports, etc. without fear of being put out to pasture.

"Watch dogs"?
Wonder what the Apostle Paul would call them?
I think I know what he would call those who participate in those activities!

So it's the pastor's fault if the entire congregation doesn't abide by the manual?

The scenario was the Pastor is conservative and the Church as a whole was not.
It has been me experience that if the Pastor would preach and enforce conservative values then the Church would obey, at least a majority.

Well, it's hard to argue experiences, and I certainly have no intention of doing so, but that has not been mine. Thank you for the response though!
