IMO, the UPCI needs to make a rule that missionaries cannot hold national office in a foreign country once the church in that country becomes autonomous. Train the nationals, step out of the way, be a servant.

Easier said than done...however once the missionary has national preachers that are capable I think it is best...Too many Big Daddy's in missions...

Every time I see the title I read "fired" as "died."

I know this is old (just reading this thread for the first time) but, having Canadians in my family, this is funny!!!

As a child we drove through Alberta Canada a lot going back and forth between Alaska and the "Lower 48". I was always amazed at fast food restaurants when they would give us vinegar instead of ketchup with french fries.

"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."
