I cant believe people are still chattering about this. Can we let this die already? Sheesh.
Last time I checked no one forced you to read a thread you are not interested in. There are dozens if not hundreds of other threads you can spend your time in if you do not want to read about or discuss this subject.

"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."

terry black was the 11th candidate to tryout back in 1986.
Wow! If you are not kidding and that is the truth then this IS a church that is willing to wait a long time for "God's time"!!!

he can preach but he was going to try to bring in too many new rules. i am pretty sure he didn't make the cut after his q & a session.
Mr. Texan,
Can you give some examples of what he said in the Q&A session that makes you think he was "going to try and bring in too many new rules"? Are you referring to "standards" or other rules?

Here is a link to Pastor Blake's current church's website and in particular the page about him. He has an extensive history of both pastoring and in missions work.
If TPC is looking for a homebody who doesn't get around much this may not be the guy! Looks like he has been very mobile and active during his ministry and is very missions / world minded.
He is right around my age so I am surprised I do not recognize the name.
I went to Bible College with Kevin and his wife, Jeanine.....good people.

I can't believe people are still coming on to the thread to keep it going, just to criticize other people for keeping it going....
Can we let this die already? SHeesh......

"83."
"Next!"

How about "I will preach the Gospel, pray, teach and serve the constituents of this church. Other than that, I will trust the Holy Spirit to lead and guide people. Jesus knows how to take care of His church."
Whoever would say that would the new pastor in a heartbeat.

Looks like a prominent Memphis, TN area UPC pastor has unexpectedly suddenly resigned after 20 years.
I was told that on Sunday visitors were asked to leave, told that they were not having service and at that point the pastor came out and announced his resignation.
While this church is not a "mega church" it is a fairly large one (around 800 members according to their website) and has been stable for years so I am sure they will have no problem finding a new pastor.
Will be interesting to see where the resigning pastor goes.
