My quote refers to the conservative fervor that grips the org ... after the ousting of Goss ... may also be a microcosm of what was happening in the halls of Congress against Communism and liberalism ....
There is a paradigm shift about to happen in many areas of life and culture during this time that combatted by reactionary politics ... and sometimes with irrational extremism .... while we were on the brink of the cultural and political liberalism of th 1960's
I respectfully tell you to look at the record.

You will find very little about various positions on holiness standards in the Herald issues circa 1945-52 ... you will find probably more articles on the varying views on the New Birth than you will about standards.
This changes with the election of Morgan. |
Thank you for the links...when I get to feeling a little better I will take the time to carefully study them.
I do have a question for you, and I ask this as respectfully as you have always treated me in these discussions...
Is there anything you could share with on the World Wide Web that would be of a positive note for the United Pentecostal Church, International?
Trust me when I say, this is not asked because I think the organization is perfect in all it's ways.
I could keep your attention all afternoon by telling you just what I think is wrong with the org, and how they have erred in judgment in many areas.
But I am wondering, as you seem to be the most frequent opponent of the UPCI on AFF of late, is there anything at all you find redeeming in this body of believers?
Or are all of your postings merely for information sake?
And hon, you may call me Barb...
