They have a tough job just by the nature of the government structure of the UPC. Many of the strong willed want the General Superintendent to throw down hard on those that don't hold to their issues, but they will be the first to scream about local church independence if it goes against them. The UPC is a democracy where many of the folks voting wish they could have the position themselves... thats a tough lot to deal with.

How about everyone posting the letters they've received from the new GS over the years? I got one... but I'm certain it was in the file cabinet I hoisted into a dumpster serveral years back.

I find your statement I quoted rather surprising. What makes you think that all of a sudden UPC folks are going to decide that DKB's doctrinal positions, books, papers, etc are not wonderful?
He has been the defacto theolgian of the UPC for almost 30 years now. If there was going to be any kind of exodus over his positions it would have happened a long time ago.
If the extra biblical doctrines of the magic hair lady and angelmeister LS don't raise any alarms within the UPC why would DB's works affirming long held UPC positions do do?
Furthermore DKB has proven to be a very savvy person when it comes to management, public relations, etc. I don't see him making any rash moves that would run either libs or cons off.

Pelanthais,
I think your criticism of the Deacon saying "spot on" was spot on!!!!!

Re: DKB: The Leader
For the record, references to DB as General Superintendent of the United Pentecostal Church International are in no way intended to insinuate that I, the ubiquitous Deacon Blues, am the holder of such esteemed office. Just in case there was any confusion....
