And to set things straight, the children's pastor resigned before all this took place. The music minister was let go for insubordinate behavior to the senior pastor. Then the family and youth pastors (which they were cousins) resigned after the business meeting that was called by the church members to try and force the senior pastor out, which backfired. Also many other members left after the business meeting. Several of the members don't even know why they left. I think they were coerced.
God is sifting the wheat folks.

So enlighten us. Why was the police called in for "crowd control" at a church meeting? How embarrassing for the body of Christ. What a witness to the community and police.

"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."
