What do you think of this?

[Book 'em Dano]

A UPC church has a multicultural congregation. A local PAW does not nor does the local Apostolic Assembly. The AA is all Latino. The AA church has actively sought to take away Latino saints from the UPC. The Pastor of the AA is ok with it. The PAW Pastor gave an invitation to church members when he was at the UPC where he was welcomed to attend. Well one of the UPCs saints went and visited and stayed and the PAW pastor never called.

Members of the AA used to visit the UPC and actually would try to talk Latino members to change churches.

I personally find this disturbing. On the one hand it is unethical to actively try to get saints to change churches. On the other hand I am bothered by the "our kind" mentality. I thought segregation was a racist ideal.

The AA has in the past first gotten the wife to leave the UPC and go to their church, then they tell the husband he needs to follow his wife. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Anyways, the UPC pastor wanted to be able to get together with the other oneness churches but now is reluctant to do so because of the sheep stealing activities and the lack of ministerial consideration to call the pastor when one of his saints changed churches.

Is this some sort of growing trend? Aren't there enough sinners out there to reach without having to take a bunch from another church? I fully understand why a Pastor would no longer want to associate with the other churches despite them supposed to be brothers of the faith.
