"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Sounds like every ecumenical council since the start of 325 A.D.

Also Islam has it schisms. Buddhism, and a plethora in hinduism.

Judaism is made up of schisms. Because the Judaism of the Bible cease to exist in 70 A.D.. Therefore it had to be modified to become a religion that no longer needed to be centrally located around its temple. Also needed to get around the need of genealogies and lineages. Becoming more like its Christian counterparts.

The UPCI also goes through the same changes as the other religions. Would be interesting to see how it will look in 100 years from now?
