In defense of OK I will say that the OK district is a fine one. Bro Matthew Martin is one the nicest gentlemen pastors or DS you could ever meet. They have great unity and MM is loved by all in his district. OK is probably conservative to the degree NC or GA is, but they have tremendous unity. The #1 reason is the Holy Ghost---OK has church! #2 reason is the humility, integrity and character of its DS. #3 is the men who pastor in OK are good men who believe in revival and love the ministry and people. They really get along. I attended a section prayer breakfast several years ago and the prayer with one another, the breakfast and fellowship following was refreshing.
I don't know anything about the politics of OK, but what I know and have observed is that its one of our up and coming districts. While other districts are cutting back their camp meeting schedules to three, four or five days, OK still goes Sunday-Friday with maximum crowds every night (2500-3000 people---the day crowds are 1,000 strong).
I know the DS told the preachers that he was personally against res 4 and will vote against it, but that he warned the preachers not to react hastily and move to leave the UPC or sow discord as a result, to keep a good attitude.
