Haney stating that all these guys met recently & are going to support each other (perhaps shared events?)and have links to each other's websites.





Does anyone have additional information , perhaps the letter ??

Can someone post the letter?

That would be really good. It would them elliminate the specualtion about the letter, but then what would be the purpose of the thread after that?

He's right....several men met at the Urshan School of Theology (or whatever it's called) in a forum this past weekened and agreed that they will support each other. These were men from ALJC, UPC, IAF, and I'm not sure if others were there.

I've been told that if you'll just wait, there's a website being formed that will have links to the various oneness organizations. Once this website is up, I'll post the link on here.

I don't think all of these groups are planning to merge...I think this was just a way of burying the hatchet after years of not fellowshipping. As you all know, CAN'T NOBODY TEAR DOWN EACH OTHER LIKE HOLINESS PEOPLE! *said with the most southern drawl I could muster*

So leave Thaddy alone!!!!!

I'm not familiar with the IAF.
I don't remember ever hearing about them before.
It is listed as an Apostolic organization at

but if I try to go to the IAF site, the link doesn't work.

Well than we could all hash and rehash and dissect the letter.

That's right we could dissect the letter so we could figure out what they were "really" saying.

I think Bishop G. D. Peters of Kingsport helped to form it?

I believe you are right. They have a campmeeting every year. I believe Dean Livingstone is involved, and several others. I know the younger Shoulders has preached there several times.

I think it is hilarious that when someone points out that the General Board of the ALJC just met and nothing about a merger was talked about Thad just says that it must have been some other meeting!!!!

As if that would not have been a hot topic of conversation for the General Board. LOL!!!!

I can confirm 100% that this was NOT talked about AT ALL at the ALJC's recent General Board meetings (held around Oct 10th or so)

Whatever meeting was held at Ursan School has happened before. Bro. Bernard mentioned it in a sermon a year or two ago. The UPC, ALJC, PAW and others were involved. So this is not the first time Urshan hosts that kind of event.

Here is a Brother that belongs to the IAF.
They have been working on the IAF website, that's why it's down.
