Though it might have been nice to listen to the GC, I do not have the money to pay for even the lowest quality. I might wait until someone puts it up on youtube.

While on the one hand I do understand the financial reasons for charging for the stream it does seem strange to charge for something you would think they would want as many Oneness folks as possible to see and be blessed and encouraged by.
Not exactly the same thing but years ago I was a member of a church that put on a large Easter musical with a cast of over 100 people. It was an amazing production and drew busloads of people from all over. My pastor had always had the same mindset as myself in saying he would never charge for something like that at the church.
However after two or three years of doing it he realized that because it was free a lot of people were coming back to see it two and three times. We had limited seating for around 1000 people or so and only doing three or four performances. By starting to charge it discouraged people from coming more than once so others could see it for the first time and it also brought in money to underwrite the production to make it better each year. For persons who could not afford the ticket price we had a free performance that was essentially our dress rehearsal.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
