The conservative UPC church I grew up in during the 60's and early 70's did not believe in reading comic strips, comic books, Christmas trees, etc.
The pastor was out of Bro. Shoe's (sp?) church in the Dallas area and had actually become quite the "lib" by the time I remember anything as he had moderated to allow hair spray, panty hose, and a few things like that.
However the seeds of liberalism and rebellion were planted in our home as we had a Christmas tree at Christmas time and I read comic books.
The good news was that our pastor was an incredible man with a wonderful sense of humor. When he would come visit around Christmas time and would see our tree he would grin and hold up his hands like he was warding off a vampire. Same thing when he would see me reading one of those evil Superman or Archie comic books. The last time I saw him in person in 1975 at the Ft. Worth UPC General Conference he told me that he knew he had preached and emphasized some things that did not amount to a hill of beans. I was just a teenager at the time and did not feel comfortable asking him to elaborate but years later after he had died I wish I had.

Thanks. Now that you mention it I knew it was Ft. Worth and had just forgotten. Don't know if I ever knew the correct spelling of the name.
