State of the Church 2010: Have the Lines Blurred?

[DAII]

Tim, when you evangelized were there inside pressures to stay within the circle? Did you book engagements outside the circle?

But it is a source of ongoing amusement that these guys think the founding fathers were all raving right-wing christian fundamentalists.

Daniel mentioned Adams; Thomas Jefferson revised the bible; removing the miracles.

None of those guys would be allowed close to a UPC pulpit.

The Founding Fathers also counted African Americans as 3/5 of a person.

But that's old stuff.

What I find interesting: could there be a "financial expediency" argument for UPC evangelists to preach in some of these other churches.

With the movement stagnating and with relatively fewer financially viable "holiness" churches to preach in, he may have a good point to run with.
