Felicity,
I would be overwhelmed with delight if it were possible to see you and TB at the Conference this year. I have made plans to attend. It will be the first Conference that I've seen fit to attend since Milwaukee twelve or so years ago. I don't normally go to Conferences and Campmeetings willy nilly. However, I feel a leading to go this year.
The Conference that I attended before Milwaukee was the year before in Salt Lake City. I was in the business meeting when the "document from hell" was debated and ratified. Afterwards, the Milwaukee conference was a spiritual call to repentance... The Salt Lake City conference was a turning point for the UPCI, the Milwaukee conference was a strong call to repentance. She missed her best opportunity.
In my spirit, I feel that this upcoming conference will be another fork in the road for her. She will choose to take one or the other. Historically, with each dividing of the way, she has chosen to take the darker of the two ways.
I have carried a heavy burden for the UPCI in times past, having been devoutly loyal to every effort both locally and nationally since I was a child, but I now confess that burden has greatly slackened but my sadness has greatly increased.
Yes, I have plans on being there...probably in tears.
