Even back then I found that pretty amazing and that was before I "went charismatic".

The UPC is also some times referred to as the Mother Ship.
And, some times the Scripture in
Acts 27:31 is referenced and paraphrased as "Unless you stay in the Mother Ship you can't be saved."
When I think of that phrase I also think of a quote by the late Wynn T.Stairs. He had been a member of the PAJC and was the first foreign missionary director of the UPC after its formation in 1945. Bro. Stairs left the UPC in the 1970's and someone accused him of leaving the ship of salvation. He replied, "Ridiculous! We just left the toilet and went up on deck to get some fresh air."
