If you take away the ability for men to honestly express themselves then the UPC, NCO, ALJC, AMF, etc will all have nothing to say worth a hoot.

Conflict may not be pleasant but nothing ever changes without it. Disagreement, dissension, constructive criticism, etc all have their place in the dialogue of Christianity.

I disagree because I believe Brother Griffin is now saying the NCO is something different than what the website blatantly shows them to be.

I disagree because there is an obvious effort to draw men out of the UPC, written by Saulters, and now denied by Griffin.

I disagree because if the NCO is only an affiliation, whose stated goal is unity and ecumenicalism, the articles I have mentioned pervert that purpose.


In short, the AFF posts and purpose, as stated by Griffin, do not match the content of the NCO's site.

Langston is still very much UPC, so I guess that just leaves RS. And to judge the entire web site (which you apparently have not read) by a single article is uncharacteristic of you. It feels as though there is something personal between you and RS. If so I will sincerely be praying for you both.

As far as your opinion of the original article. The anti-thesis of its premise is that we should continue to further divide, fragment, isolate and that unity is is not something which should be sought. Surely that is not the case. I repeat let the United Pentecostal Church remain United.

I have read the site, and enjoy a lot of the content. I think you are a great writer, and a wonderful person to dialogue with.

I also happen to agree with the theme of your article.

Peace Brother.
