UPC and Ecumenical movement

[Sam]

A couple of thoughts about the UPC and ecumenicalism:

There are many organizations that preach pretty much the same as the UPC. A while back I seem to remember a UPC position paper advocating more fellowship and cooperation among those organizations. Any inter-organizational fellowship would actually be at the level of the individual assembly. There are UPC churches that don't even fellowship other UPC churches. And there are some UPC churches that fellowship folks in other organizations and in independent churches.

As far as the UPC fellowshipping churches like the World Council of Churches, I just don't think that would happen. There just seems to be too wide a gap in doctrine and many in the UPC would not even consider folks in those other churches to be saved.
