As long as foam pours out of the mouth of upcer's when the word "trinitarian" is mentioned, things won't change. I hate to tell you but the next generation is already going for this nonsense.
I jumped in on a thread when I asked someone to stop spreading untrue rumors. Since I joined a few days ago, I've been run through the shredder continually. When you consider that the trend toward exclusivity has only increased over the upc's history, and NEVER decreased, then it is what it is.
If you want things to be different...I say, "Hit the trail."
And I'm glad you're upset.

The issue is not "foaming at the mouth"...in fact the UPCI has had meetings with Trinitarians to come to a peaceful consensus.
The problem the younger generation has with the UPC are what appears to be man made traditions amoung other things. There are enough in the UPC that don't "foam at the mouth" at the mention of the word Trinity.
