Should AFF Change Their Name?

Seems like those pushing for the name change are conservatives who don't like sharing the name "Apostolic" with those who don't fit their small town brand.

That said, it'd be nice to see what everyone else thinks. Should AFF change their name? If so, what would be more appropriate?

Nope. Absolutely not.

To change the name would only please those who have bailed on this forum and yet still spend their days talking about us day in and day out.

To them I say... Debate or depart.

Don't sit out there in your four & no more circles discussing us... go on about your business... get a life... buy a good book... I'd suggest the Bible. It has a great ending.

Then they'd talk about Bobbed Hair Women over at Bob.

Re: Should AFF Change Their Name?

No. Ultra-con, con, moderate, lib or ex. AFF is here for us all.

We all have this in common....we have deep roots in the Apostolic church. You can take the person out of the church but you can't ever completely take the church out of the person. It gets in your DNA. It is part of who we are.
