Actually, that is NOT the case. When I read that quote, their fear is for those who are headed the wrong direction. Their corporate expression for their direction is hope! :)

Amen...
 

I couldn't agree more with your post. I also believe it is fear of losing control. With the new org. they can have complete control. That is until someone brings another resolution 4 to the table. Then they'll go somewhere else to start another org. Good Post!

Nah they'll split over split end trimming before that. :-)

Exactemento...
 

You miss my point, they are reacting to something, thus reactionary, and the motive is fear not faith.

For the simpletons among us, we see something and we are afraid therefore change (withdraw) and new fellowship is needed.

Hello! New here...my first post! I’m a little confused about this Tulsa thing. I know UPC pastors/churches are leaving due to the TV decision, etc. Is the WWPF a new “organization” with the Tulsa meeting their “kickoff” or is it just a meeting for anyone? I went to their site and saw all the names…are these the ones that have officially left? I feel so stupid and naive…I had no idea things had gotten to this point already.

Bloom where your are planted!

:huh trying to figure out where to apply that but...

Stay involved in your local church and stay out of the national stuff, your life and state of mind will be more peaceful.

planning on it. we are pretty happy as we are thankfully.
