Re: General Conference Ballot

1. Should sleeves be below the elbows.

2. Should the "Apostolic Identity" program require an ID card certifying the carrier is a genuine Apostolic.

3. Should Ruth Reider-Harvey be given sainthood for giving women so many reason to want uncut hair (even though they are extra biblical)

"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."

Re: General Conference Ballot

I "think" they are going to start to allow ministers to vote that are not able to go to conference.

Don't know if that is a votable issue or not.

This is one that I could actually see them. They could also have each district vote on each ballot initiative at the various district conferences. This would possibly provide greater participation in the process. This way by the end of the year, one would have all of the votes.
