I have friends who are planning to go overseas as AIMers. They have raised their budget, but their home church has told them that the church will get them home if something happen that the org. cannot get them home when their term is over. I have also heard of a missionary couple who has been told by two different churches that they were not giving any more pledges to FM dept. I think the ripples are just being felt. I do not know how far the ripples will go.

Can you share where you are going? Are you taking a church? Evangelizing? Entering the private sector? Joining the ALCJ? Joining the AMF? Going Charismatic?

Strange.

Is it possible that they believe this "purging" process will be beneficial in the long run?
Is it possible they have observed the fissure growing for years and feel that this "split" is inevitable and that trying to artificially hold it together will only prolong the inevitable?

CC1, If I am reading this and posts in other threads correctly he is not leaving by choice.

Can you get a meeting with the general board and make your case?

LOL!! There are a lot of possible reasons UPC leadership may be silent including the one I gave.
Another might be that they feel that what is going to happen is inevitable and that if they try to actively keep it from happening by speaking out it would just make it even more high profile and could cause the situation to degenerate into name calling, bitterness, etc.

Yes, God is in control and if I may say something outrageous? I'm not even sure God knows what the UPCI is!!! .......... I know, I know ....... He knows all things but whether the UPCI continues or not, does not effect His Kingdom or its economy. Considering my Father's Grand Plan, this is a tempest in a teapot! As to those who feel they are divinely appointed to be "Keeper of The Keys" and it sure is fortunate for God that they came along for such a time as this, take another look, for I can [almost] see God sitting down with a good book and some chocolate chip cookies and milk. God aint worried!!!

I disagree with you. I think it greatly minimizes the history and work of the UPC to suggest it doesn't mean anything to God.
I think God greatly appreciates all persons and organizations that stand for and promote the Gospel despite any flaws they might have.
Anyone who believes that the biblical method of baptism is immersion in Jesus Name should understand the role that the UPC has played in the growth of that practice in the 20th and now 21st century. Not only within it's ranks but the many that have left and have "gone charismatic" that still baptize in Jesus name.
