Aegsm76, I'd like to know your connection to the situation. The situation in the NW- especially in Portland- was TOXIC in the 70's and 80's. I attended and graduated from CBC with a dual Ministry/Christian Education major in 1980, class president and ministerial student assoc pres for the last two years. Oregon remains a mine field to this day for anyone with an other-than dispensational viewpoint and an other-than holiness (as dictated by the by-laws) or hell conviction. You're free to disagree, but I've got the T shirt.
Is it on Amazon?

I didn't mean to offend you by saying "tiny" but in the context of college sizes all UPC Bible Colleges have always been and continue to be "tiny".
I am sure part of that is because they are dedicated strictly to training for ministry. If the UPC had a liberal arts University there is a good chance it would be quite a bit larger. I was really rooting for the Great Lakes University that The Apostolic Church in Pontiac Michigan tried to start. While not a UPC sanctioned school it was a Oneness based one.

"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."
