So where would you place the hands on your churches "UPC Clock"? Think of a clock in the sense of the doomsday clock that scientist have the hands a couple of minutes before midnight because of the threat of nuclear destruction How close are you guys to leaving voluntarily or being forced out? Does it depend on how firmly districts will act on the Bernard letter template of getting pastors / churches in line?

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
