Post UPCI Gen Supt. Election Questions

The election of David K. Bernard to the position of General Supintendant of the UPCI left some questions to be answered.

Here are a couple I have to get the ball rolling. Perhaps some AFFer will have some answers;

1. Does anybody know why Paul Mooney removed his name from consideration after receiving the most votes on the nominating ballot? Has he publicly stated why?

2. Does anybody know who will pastor DKB's church since the UPCI does not allow the GS to continue to pastor? Is his Asst. Pastor the heir apparent?

"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"

Moody didn't remove his name till he went to go back behind the curtain. He said he felt checked in the holy spirit because he couldn't leave his call to pastor his current church.

Correction..... PM did not receive the most votes on the nominating ballot. KH received the most votes - just not the 2/3 required to remain as GS due to term limits... It is my understanding that KH was short only 40 to 50 votes.

As far as answering your question why he removed his name .... who knows, but it does seem odd. His name has come up for the past 10 years or more.... surely he knew that he would receive quite a few votes. He could have put the word out that he wasn't interested. JMHO

Re: Post UPCI Gen Supt. Election Questions

Why the Holy Spirit wasn't checking PMs spirit while he was peacocking and sabre rattling to cons for the last year while trashing emergents and signaling to confidantes he would run is puzzling.

Lots of maybes, perhaps with PM?

Maybe his church is in a building project that is close to 20 million dollars in debt?

Maybe he has not been to secure his lineage (in law) as pastor as the church is not keen to the idea, and subsequently unable to secure a nest egg?

And, maybe it might be a reticent spouse or underlying health issues?

Maybe the Lord wanted DB to be GS? Lots of praying and fasting going on before conference.

If he really said this then I can't fault him for withdrawing his name.
