District Puts WPF on Notice

What I get out of the letter is if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, eats like a duck, it probably is a duck. The upci makes a great case why upci affiliated ministeres should not license with the wpf...

This must be a cut and paste reply that the GB approved for the districts, as this is a carbon copy of what DB sent out to his district as well. I do know however, that while they give permission in this communique to fellowship WPF events, some districts have called pastors forbidding them to do so, which I feel is not only inappropriate but on the sly when considering this "official" statement.

Good point. However in places like Kansas and California, I understand why districts would take the extra step.

Why Kansas? It is my understanding that while quite a few may have left the UPCI, most if not all of them are just going GIB for now.

For example purposes only.

It has begun ... it only will get worse.

It will get a whole lot worse before it gets better. Couldn't we just set up a wrestling match between them.

It's not going to get worse , there will be those that will leave, but not enough to effect the UPC. It is sad, but not note worthy really..as we have seen from the letters and district meetings it is being handled ethicly and with grace. Let them go, the fruits will reveal the tree...

The last word from Hazelwood (that's today) only about 200 have dropped out of UPCI, that's not an earth shattering number out of approx.9248 ministers listed in the directory. There has been a big rush of ministers getting their renewals in so they won't be dropped. That means there are still about 9,000 faithful left and growing all the time. UPCI may have it's problems but it's still the best there is.

If I can ask.......was this "word" officially released or is this your inside source? Just curious!
