I found out this is indeed Elder W. C. Parkey's son.
I was wondering the same thing. That is a name I heard a lot growing up in the UPC in the 60's and 70's.

"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."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

This might jog your memory a bit:
In December of 1963, Brother Parkey resigned his church to become the Promotional Director of the Harvestime Broadcast at the UnitedPentecostalChurch headquarters, at 2645 South Grand in St. Louis, MO.
During this year, he not only traveled . promoting Harvestime, He was the editor for the periodical "Harvest-Home". At this time He also was serving as the editor of the Youth Magazine, "The Conqueror's TREAD!". In 1964 he became pastor at The First Pentecostal Church of Kansas City, MO where He served for 10 years. At this same time He was the editor of The Missouri District publication, The Missouri District VOICE!
In 1967, the Missouri District voted to have a BibleSchool. The name, "Gateway College of Evangelism" was chosen, and W. C. Parkey was asked to be the president and until 1970. During this time he was asked to serve both on the Curriculum Committee and the Board of Publication of the UnitedPentecostalChurch. He also served on the Campus Evangelism committee.
Then in 1974, Brother Parkey was asked once again to return as the president of GatewayCollege. By this time, it was obvious that in order to guide the school efficiently and effectively it could no longer be a part-time job, so, reluctantly, Brother Parkey resigned as pastor to become the President of Gateway College.
In his second term as President, a high school and distance learning program were added. Gateway sponsored a trip to the Holy Land during this time and a publication, called "The Panorama," was instituted with W. C. Parkey as the editor.
In 1980 He became the pastor at First United Pentecostal Church of Poplar
Bluff, MO. A new Church building was built and in 1983 Cornerstone Tabernacle was dedicated.

Holy Smokes... 136 pages??? Anyone willing to give me a brief synopsis of what this thread is about in a paragraph or two or three? I'd love to read this thread but I have this terribly thick book on advanced concepts in chemistry that I think would take about the same amount of time.

Elder Parkey when I knew him was a straight shooter.

I'm seeing 270+ pages.....260,000+ views.
I can give you a brief summary in a sentence. Good individuals who believed the Romanist teaching that the church is a building, exalt a man to unscriptural level of power and obedience and buy into the teaching that their particular sect represents the true Church of Jesus Christ were taken advantage of because of their ignorance.
