Thats one good thing... our church has church going on alllll the time!


God bless you too!

AWESOME.

Great reports

The RCC and the UPC have the same ingredients... but it is like one of those crock pot recipes... if you look at the ingredients after only an hour (UPC), it still doesn't look like much... but if you look at it 8 hours later (RCC), you start to realize what has been created.

(so glad they create this smiley)

"This Train" would not quite fit into the same category as the doggerel.

"This Train" is quaint and old but of course the other songs are the anthem of the Jerry Springer Show segment of "ole time pentecost."

God?

Nah, God has nothing to do with it.

People "run the aisles" to those songs because they feel like they are striking back against people they have an inferiority complex to - which of course is most every well-adjusted person on the planet.

These songs have always found fertile ground around the parts of the country where there are more cars jacked up on blocks in front yards than on the roads; where the white picket fence is replaced by tires buried halfway in the ground and then painted white as a show of "good taste."

I laugh at the thought that if a choir sang Handel's "And The Glory of the Lord" or "Hallelujah Chorus" the Springer Crowd of Ole Time Pentecost would sit there with stupid, uncomprehending look on their faces.

This thread proves once again that these "preachers" wouldn't know true biblical holiness if it grew teeth, jumped up and bit them on their ample, three-axe-handles-wide, honey-bun-and-orange-soda fed backsides.

I'm certainly no cheerleader for the UPC, but I think with the autonomy of the local church as the basic unit of the org that it really can't be compared to the RCC.

The RCC has a trained clergy. The UPC is catch-as-catch-can and make up your theology as you go.

The RCC clergy are assigned to a parish and have no say in who their bishop is. The UPC practices a form of entrepreneurial evangelism where an entrepreneur goes out to harvest the tithes and offerings from whoever he can convince to give. The UPC clergy then forward only whatever they feel like forwarding on up the food chain. There's a big difference in this mechanism and its implications for control. The RCC clergy get a paycheck from their diocese.

In the past, when a RCC clergy was caught in a sex scandal he was protected by his org. In the UPC these types are really rolling the dice and most will have to leave the org if not leave the ministry entirely when they are found out.

In the pre-RCC days of the Old Catholic Church the heirarchy of bishops and archbishops was already in place. The only argument was which bishop was top dog; Alexandria, Antioch or Rome or someone else? In the UPC the trend seems to be a continued decentralization of power. There is an important exception: the way in which local districts wield authority over their fiefdoms. The district actually trumps HQ in just about every situation.

If you could turn the clock forward, so to speak, and take a look at a future UPC I don't think it would evolve into a RCC type model. It would likely cease to exist and the various parts dismembered the corpse to form the predecessor orgs that will then merge to form a successor org. And the cycle will continue.

Or it won't.

So much wisdom in such a little package!

You only wish that were true!

[timlan2057]

And of course Benincasa comes along and proves my point exactly.

Thanks for admitting God has nothing to do with it.

There may be hope for you yet.

It needs to be made into a movie. A documentary - you just can't make this stuff up.
I would think all 6 members of the 'bama church knows that song by heart!!
Ya think?
The men's quartet might sing, "If there's hair on your ears, there's sin in your heart. Get it cut today, and make a new start........"
