I’m in Hawaii. Here, there are a number of United Church of Christ churches that are conservative. I’ve heard of churches rejected liberal pastors who tried out from the liberal eastern part f their denomination. I know a Baptist pastor who used to pastor a conservative Chinese congregation here.One of the men who was on the board who helped start a seeker sensitive megachurch which is actually part of Foursquare was from a UCC background and may have his ordination with them still. He was the head of the Bible college for this church.I hear this stuff and I wonder why the local UCC churches just don’t totally split off and do their own thing. I don’t know if the UCC has a claim on their property. I get the sense that it’s a loose affiliation, though. I was talking to a Pentecostal who has been offered to pastor a new night congregation at a very prestigious and historical local church building that I think is part of the UCC. I’m wondering what people on the forum think of a situation like this. Would you be willing to minister with a conservative congregation in a denomination that is favorable toward gay marriage and left wing ideas of ‘social justice’________________
Nothing but a Hindue if you follow Kari Jobe, women should not usurp authority over men
But until Lee’s religion department has more COG ministers in it then it does liberal theologians who teach stuff we don’t embrace as a denomination, they can keep their opinions to themselves. I don’t give a flying flip what the religion department thinks. Majority of them aren’t even Church of God.
What does usurp mean?
