It appears each and every year it is the same of same old.
I would ask them for any community involvment or outreach that has been vetured into that did not first have a disclaimer of "Oneness" attached.
I would share with them they are no further in reaching the world or defining the modern issues in the UPCI then they were in 1978.
The year my Dad who was in the UPCI passed away.

On behalf of the General Board allow me to respond.
Dear Sir
Our purpose is to carry the whole gospel to the whole world. We clearly state our purpose on everything we print with our logo on it.
Our progress is reviewed on a semi-annual basis each March and September. All divisions also report on the same semi-annual basis. Complete financials and reports are made available to all members prior to our General Conference. If you are not a member (licensed) you will not receive a copy.
It seems you have a misconception of the purpose and power of the General Board. Community involvement and outreach are a district and local church function. Some are very involved some are not. As for functions having the term "oneness" attached, unless it has slipped your mind, we remain the premiere oneness organization in North America if not the world (please refer back to "Purpose" or "Faith, Articles of".
As far as 1978 is concerned, if you don't think there has been change since then you need to get out more.
Facetiously
The General Board
