There isn't. I remember as a young teenager being raised in a conservative UPC church that the young people in the church discovered that the local High School had a great drama department and put on some great shows during the school year.
After a few unofficial group outings to these productions word came down from the pastor that we could no longer go. Bummer!!!

I never could figure out that one either. My daughter got a call from the son of a prominenet pastor in our state. He told her that he and his family ( prominent pastor, wife and kids ) spent their Christmas holiday in New York attending Broadway plays and finally climaxing with the apple coming down on New Years Eve. All during the year movies, tv and such are decried as evil, but, I can't find where they got the revelation that " live " theater was ok to attend. It's the same as the " conservative " pastor who is against everything, but, will go scuba diving with a group of pastors in the Carribean! Huh?! What's up with that?

A group of us "seniors" will be viewing Amazing Grace at our church Tuesday Dec 11th. We will also be enjoying some food and some fellowship and probably praying for one another.

How dare you go there!!! I remember at GC in San Antonio, the IMAX, which somehow is acceptable, was playing a movie and many went... I remember in Branson at a Bible Quiz Final, Spiderman II, I think was playing at the IMAX and many went because it is ok for there... So I guess it is ok on a small screen, 80 inches and under... And it is ok on a huge screen 3 stories and larger, but I guess that middle sized screen is just of the devil...

I just preached for a VERY conservative pastor. (3 weeks I might add. We had awesome revival. We focused on what unified us and not our differences. hmmm....I guess that keeps him out of the UC club ) Anyway, we went to an IMAX. It was great show. I enjoyed it. I can't understand why he thought it was ok to go there but when I later mentioned we go see a movie at the cinamark 8 he thought it would be a sin.

As an fyi, 15+ yrs ago the son of a DS played HS basketball, and yes!!!, wore shorts and tank top.
My daughter was in the pep band and since she played, I attended to see her play and also saw the UPC lad play basketball. It wasn't an issue for me but obviously not everyone would have approved. I think it was rather hush, hush. But he did get his pix on the sports page once!!
