UBoat,
Do you want me to change the spelling in the title of the thread back to what you had?

It is all good. Leave it as you edited. Goal is to communicate, so use the better more modern spelling.

I can guarantee any offical position would be anti and not pro.
Hope that helps.

It is cool. Sorry about the screen name. I guess I could have changed that part. I have so many sites that I must access for work ect. and the passwords have to be reset after certain number of days, that I try to keep it simple and use the U37 thing as a user id and then just rotate my password with a key and some numbers. Alas, I still get locked out from at least one site a month!!

Re: UPC and Ecumenical movement
A couple of thoughts about the UPC and ecumenicalism:
There are many organizations that preach pretty much the same as the UPC. A while back I seem to remember a UPC position paper advocating more fellowship and cooperation among those organizations. Any inter-organizational fellowship would actually be at the level of the individual assembly. There are UPC churches that don't even fellowship other UPC churches. And there are some UPC churches that fellowship folks in other organizations and in independent churches.
As far as the UPC fellowshipping churches like the World Council of Churches, I just don't think that would happen. There just seems to be too wide a gap in doctrine and many in the UPC would not even consider folks in those other churches to be saved.
