Kansas lost a lot of their UPC pastors in the ultra con desertion awhile back and now it looks like they are losing even more either to the WWPF or GIB.
I guess the last UPC pastor there will just have to turn the lights out.
Sounds like Kansas would be a good district to move to if one had aspirations to be a district official. They are going to end up with so few pastors every one of them will hold some district position!

Re: District Puts WPF on Notice
The apostolic identity as I understand scripture has nothing to do with a clothesline. The apostolic identity is Holy Ghost power. We have made apostolic identity something we wear as opposed to something we should be. It's a joke, and unscriptural to cling onto a legalistic unscriptural mandate for an identity.

General Board Ruling
February 26, 2008
It is imperative that we not only proclaim separation, but that it be taught so as to give this generation reason for the basic fundamentals as stated in the Articles of Faith.
The General Youth Department presented plans for Youth Congress 2009, outlining ideas that will incorporate this goal. In an attempt to realize the curbing of some problems and concerns, the General Youth Division will develop platform guidelines for both Youth Congress and Bible Quizzing.
Please know that there was a great spirit of unity and commitment to maintain our Apostolic identity while at the same time going forward with a strong passion for Global Impact.

whose "we"....you got a mouse in your pocket brother??
Some of us UPC don't identify with what we wear, but we wear it anyway.

Brother Worthy ... a decade ago there were about 8700-8800 mininsters ... that's a net gain only about 300 ministers in 10 years!! Best there is ????
Why is there such great turnaround ... where is the monumental growth that's talked about?
