Yesterday evening, UCG posted its report of the Sunday opening session of the General Conference of Elders for 2011 on Inside United: Realtime blog article “GCE Report: Sunday Afternoon”. Gary Antion is filling the empty council seat, while Roy Holladay, Darris McNeely, Don Ward and Robin Webber will stay on…
There really is so much I could write about today. The death of Osama bin Laden and capture of much of the intelligence material in his abode reveals even more threats he was plotting against the US. In addition, it reveals the rank hypocrisy of someone who heartily derided the…
If, as some charge (and I don’t necessarily agree), United Church of God, an International Association (UCGia, or UCG for short) is becoming “Protestant”, then what does that mean?

What can you learn from a young woman born and raised in a pagan society and an elderly woman who has no money, no husband and very few prospects of a worthwhile future? Today is Mother’s Day in the US. It is one of the few holidays without pagan strings…
