Yes....

Into northern and southern divisions of the former WD. It had nothing to do with resolution #4.

I would assume it is different camp meetings, different youth functions.

True.

That is one of the difficulties in a large growing district!

I'm CA. District born and bred. I think it will work out for the best for the youth here is why:

You will be able to go to 2 youth conventions now not to mention many more events andmore time and chances to meet your friends.

You will not be turned away simply because you are from the wrong District.

A lot of people are against the District splitting because they feel like the south is too liberal. I'm not addressing that part. most of these people are leaving the UPC anyways.

The mere size and traffic of Calif. demands a second District. anyone living here knows I'm right about it


The northern CA youth convention will be held in Stockton- An easy one hour flight to Sacramento

Re: Western District Split

I dont want to come across as uncaring....but...

generally speaking we are talking about friends that are seen only 2 or 3 times a year at district events.

so these are not cases of best friends from across the street that are no longer allowed to see each other.

the thing that really hurts these kids is when their churches fall on different sides of hte UPCI WWPF divide. THAT is where the real hurt is.
