Alot of Q&As

I must say that I am very pleased about the spirit and attitude with which this meeting is being held. Not one derogatory word has been said against the UPCI or any other organization. In fact, One thing that was expressed in this meeting that really pleased me is that it has been said that we are NOT anti-UPC. And, UPC, or any other church, group, or organization ‘bashing’ will NOT be tolerated.

In the Q&A session which was held at 2pm today, these questions were brought up, “Will the WPF allow men who are not members of the organization to preach at WPF meetings?” and “Will the WPF endorse meetings sponsored by men who are not members of WPF?”, to which Bro. Booker answered basically that if they believe the Apostolic message and Acts 2:38 and the doctrine, then yes, we will allow them to speak at our meetings, even if they are not WPF. And, we will support meetings which are sponsored by men who are not WPF, if they believe the same message.

One question was asked specifically if any men were added to the General Council list without consent. Bro. Crawford Coon very thoroughly explained how that a few months back, the six men that are in the Executive Council thought and discussed every name on that list before calling them or putting them on a list. When it came time to call these men for their approval, they divided up the names among the six of them to call and request their support and to be in the General Council. Every man in consideration was called upon; and every man considered accepted. Bro. Coon then said that three of four men of that number (much later, and after the list was already in print) called and asked that, because of various reasons including sickness, and church problems, that their names might be removed from that list.
When they heard the accusations made about the men’s names being on the list without their permission, the six got together again trying to figure out if one of the names could have possibly been mistakenly overlooked, or what else may have happened to cause this accusation. They thoroughly examined their list, and each man confirmed each name they had called and that their permission to be added to the list had been specifically given. Every name was accounted for. So, like I thought, these were simply false accusations.

Interestingly enough, every session is being recorded and put onto cds for sale. I’m sure they will have a store on the WPF website where you can purchase the cds of the meeting.
