Biggest Draw: Dora or Res. #4?
So, after all the critical analysis of Youth Congress, and the coup d'etat via Tampa, who had the larger crowds?
I have been told the GC numbers did not match the crowds of 17,000 at YC.
If a controversial General Conference cannot pull more numbers than a burgeoning youth gathering, what does it say of the UPC organization?
I note that most criticism of Youth Congress was simply brushed aside - with no real evidence of future events being less cutting edge.
The big draw on the GC biz session ended in a coup by the estimation of many - conservatives and liberals alike, with traditionalist conservatives taking second place.
I agree with S Epley and others when they say there is no turning back this tide.
The question is, Do we have more to gain in this than we have to lose???

Does anyone have numbers for the General Conference attendance?

Comparing apples to oranges here. On one hand we have married people (mostly ministers) choosing to go to a political conference over a fishing trip or sightseeing family vacation. 
On the other hand we have young people wanting to meet other single Pentecostal young people so they can find that special someone. Which means that they too will one day decide between General conference and a vacation rental in the mountains or some other vacation.
And without a stake or influence in the political ball game they are most likely to choose the fun vacation.

This is all true, but General Conference is the only official national religious holiday of the UPCI.
I see meetings like NAYC taking on more of a defining role in the UPC rather than only the traditional social emphasis.

LOL! There may be a lot of truth there! But I know couples who met at GC.
And the music at GC does tend to be selected for the "older" crowd. My wife has been asked to sing at GC several times- but never at NAYC! hmm...

You are so smart you should be an attorney. Did the mormon polygamy verdict surprize you?

Imagine if they went back to Louisville and had a central location....
Oh nevermind.
GC is always lower the year they have NAYC. The marathon offerings and $25 door charge could have skeered a few away from registrations too.
