You're right! It was Bellview. If I remember, though, that is near Ocala, right? My MIL actually worked in the office, I believe for just a little while. I do remember that they wanted her to remove her wedding ring. That WASN'T going to happen. That would not have set too well with her unsaved husband. She didn't want to cause any difficulty, so she didn't work in the office any more.

I trust you are kidding? The UPC General Conference has always been a meeting for the general constituancy of the UPCI.

They do have business meetings that are only for licensed ministers but that is only part of the conference.

As a matter of fact the GC is listed as a religous observance offiically by the UPC so UPC kids can get excused absences from their schools to attend with their parents.

Yup. I always have to quote the by-laws and threaten to sue my wife so she will grant permission of release for my home schooled children.
