It is my opinion that the proposal, adoption, and subsequent blood-letting and upheaval of the Affirmation Statement is pretty well described in Proverbs 6:16-19.
I am not now, nor have I ever been, a licensed or ordained minister in the UPC (Under Privileged Children) organization so my opinion is not important. |
I take umbrage with the accusation that a high ranking official lied to facilitate the passing of the resolution that implemented the Affirmation Statement.
I was personally in a meeting where that godly brother apologized for the impression his words gave. He may have expressed himself poorly on the General Conference floor, but I reject the assertion that he lied.
Whether or not the procedure was questionable is a moot point. There has been ample time and opportunity to rescind the Affirmation Resolution, and the will of the body has been to retain it.
