Ministerial Ethics, Dropping Out and TV: Did You Forget You Agreed to This?
2007 Manual Page 159
Position Papers/Ministerial Code of Ethics
ends with...
"Having accepted a pastorate, I will not use my influence to alienate the church or any portion thereof from the fellowship or support of the United Pentecostal Church International. If my convictions change, I will be honorable enough to withdraw."
Questions:
Will ministers withdrawing abide by the code of ethics they ascribed to in the manual when they affirmed their membership with the fellowship?
Will they simply withdraw w/o using their influence to alienate their church which may be UPCI affiliated? Will they not use their influence to alienate the fellowship or support of the UPCI?
Have not their convictions changed in regards to abiding to the current bylaws of the UPCI ... and so the honorable thing is to withdraw without trying to bring others w/ them?
Will their integrity be questioned ???... do they not also fall under question ethically if they break this code of ethics? ... which can seemingly then be adjudicated under resolution 3?
1. that it is in there.
2. that you found it.
3. that you have brought it up.
4. that there is nothing that those who cause strife and seek to not fellowship can say about it.
5. that many of those who attack the TV supporters for being hypocrits are in fact being hypocrits themselves!
Bravo Daniel! Bravo!

BTW, Darcie spotted it first.
Except for PJ's diatribe .... there seems to be a HOLY HUSH.
Perhaps the disciples of Mount CAF, who are presently homeless, or the men of the cloth from Wordshare would like to chime in?

Exactly, I find it hard to believe that Dan came up with this.
