Re: Mile High Conference 2015
Regarding the Mile High Conference I found it interesting that after watching part of it online and then seeing a short video clip and some still pics of Elder Epley's Campmeeting it looked like the Campmeeting had quite a bit more people attending. Clearly Elder Epley is going to have to come up with a fancy name for his meeting and start calling it a conference instead of a Campmeeting!
I had heard of the Mile High Conference for years and assumed it was a large one but from what I could tell on the Webcast it looked like maybe around 300 people there. Maybe there was a packed balcony or something I couldn't see. Does anybody know what that church seats? That pastors father who was the previous pastor stated one night that the first Mile High Conference held 43 years ago was in that building.

"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."
