2011 - 2012 United Pentecostal Church Report
I was surfing the web and ran across this online pdf of the recently published UPCI annual report for 2012.
I have only had a chance to read the first few pages but for those interested in the United Pentecostal Church this report gives data on how many licensed ministers there are, how many churches, and how many of those churches are affiliated vs non affiliated.
The report also has financial data for those interested or concerned about the reported financial woes in recent years. It appears the UPCI operated in the black this year and has a substantial amount of cash on hand.
Here is a link to the webpage with the pdf of the report;

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
