I think he just means that a church that is pro whichever way that has 40 licensed ministers in it and they all go to GC to vote has a up over the home missions minister that can't afford to go to GC to vote.

All licensed ministers should be able to vote.

For 25 smacks we should Carry a bed roll and stay in the conference center.

That's kinda how I feel. If everyone has a problem with the way the UPCI is ran why be a part of it? EIther go someplace else or quit complaining. No one is making you be a part of it.

I did not know that. So evangelist can't vote? That doesn't seem right.

I can see potential problems on a district level, but there is no reason why it shouldn't be done on a national level. Otherwise, quit licensing people, taking their dues, and then telling them they are valued - but can't vote.

Hey PP you and I agree on something.
