I don't love the UPC with all it's faults...I think we need to stop hiding the faults and pretending they never happened or that they will go away on their own. That's the problem a lot of people have had with the UPC. It's a good ol boys club, more concerned with protecting it's own than the truth...as evidence by nothing being done about HMH and other issues that have been raised here.

Prax, I appreciate your honesty. I don't advocate HMH either. In FACT, I publicly denounced it in Fort Worth, TX in 2008 at the Apostolic Theological Forum. HMH is not held by everyone IMHO but it is a problem in some places. Jason has my paper I wrote there as well.
I am not licensed with the UPCI. I attend a UPC church. I do believe though that any attempt to organize human beings will generate faults and flaws. It is our problem though and not the true desire of UPC men. I would say most of them have a desire to preach the Apostolic message and are very good men. I would never be so naive to assume any social structure as being absolutely monolithic.
