Re: ***Districts begin to enforce Bernard Doctrine
"1. The UPCI stands for certain biblical principles regarding the outward appearance, such as modesty, women having long hair, distinction between male and female in dress and not wearing ornamental jewelry or makeup. We believe these are scriptural teachings and apostolic doctrine; thus we cannot abandon them. With regard to UPCI governance, the Articles of Faith specifically address women cutting their hair, makeup and immodest dress. It is our district’s responsibility to uphold this teaching as a matter of integrity and consistency. We are not dealing with cultural issues that are not specifically addressed in the Bible or the Articles of Faith, such as men’s facial hair, wearing of suits, or music styles (although some things like this can become indicators of where a church is heading)."
So if you have facial hair and don't wear a suit or play the wrong kind of music it is an indication of which way your headed?

Sounds like it would come from Wright ... but just an "educated" guess.

You did good DA. I wish Icould type like you ;-) I just copy and paste.
It's gonna be an interesting ride in the old UPC gospel ship the next couple of years.
She seems to be taking on water and listing hard to starboard.

How remarkably, incredibly sad. I'd make some big speech, but it's all just very sad.

I think this may be the first time ever.... but I completely agree with you. 
It is SAD. No speech necessary. Pretty self explanatory, huh?!

Actually, in the old days, you used to agree with me a lot!  You were actually the first Admin I'd go to for help. But alas, things have changed. However, we do momentarily agree just like the old days.
It's truly sad.

Re: ***Districts begin to enforce Bernard Doctrine
If the letter indeed comes from the Maryland District, it's worthy to note that the part of the UPCI manual dealing with holiness and organized sports was not addressed, could it be that the District Superintendent loves football and has pictures of him and his family attending a Navy college football game on His FaceBook.

Re: ***Districts begin to enforce Bernard Doctrine
The inconsistencies are what makes it all look so silly.
