What I saw is many who had been ostracised from other organizations due to a past sin or failures who were forgiven, restored, and reconciled to Christ and their brothers & sisters in the Lord. They are practicing scriptural principles of not walking on the weak, or fallen, but in love restoring one another.
The ACN is not about different doctrinal stances, but about oneness Apostolics who have a heart to meet the needs of missionaries without taking a cut for overhead, or making it impossible for fallen ministers to be restored to vessels of honor.
I think of all those I know who are on the outside of doors of other organizations begging to be let back in but because of legalism, and Phariseeical rules are giving up on dreams and hopes to be of use in kingdom ministries while God is showing them open doors of opportunites outside their sphere of reference. This reminds me of the story of the man who was caught in a flood and who turned down three different modes of rescue waiting on God to rescue him. When he died in the flood and got to heaven he asked God why He did not send a rescue...and God said, "I did, I sent three and you turned them down."
I admonish and encourge those ministers, minister's wives and saints who have had a colorful past that would like to be restored to link up with ACN and allow God to use others who have been where you are to give you a hand up and not a push further down in the mire.
Blessings, Rhoni

True sin or just in the eyes of others? I would be careful making a blanket statement like that.

Both. Since no names are mentioned, it really is a moot issue isn't it? I didn't say everyone present had a past sin or failure, but probably most of us did whether known or unknown  just like in any church, organization, or gathering of believers.

Re: ACN Conference
Rhoni,
You make the ACN sound like the Australia of Oneness Organizations!

It seems to be a very good analogy.

Re: ACN Conference
There are strengths and weakness to all Apostolic organizations. I am sorry if you think I felt it to be more than what it is.
Blessings, Rhoni

Re: ACN Conference
Rhoni,
I think it was just how your post came across. Rather than the ACN being painted as an upstanding Oneness org. that also happens to be open to people in ministry with failure in their past it sounded like it's main purpose was to be an org. for those folks. I don't think that was what you meant.
