The wicked freely strut about
when what is vile is honored among men.
Found on the internet, in an obituary: “They are consistent members of the United Brethren church and he is a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen.”
It’s always amusing when stuff like this surfaces.
Bishop Emeritus Wilber Sites, Jr., has improved greatly since Wednesday. He was suffering from congestive heart failure which is now being managed and is under control, and he is headed the right direction. The other complication was an upper respiratory infection (rather than the suspected double pneumonia). The family
greatly appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers at this time, as well as the graciousness of God in Wilber’s life.
Every two years, United Brethren churches are required to sign the National Conference Covenant, which includes your affirmation of six statements.
The unsigned covenant was mailed to your church in December. When Bishop Ramsey receives the signed covenant, he’ll sign it and return it to your church. The deadline for returning the covenant: March 15.
By signing the covenant, your church is affirming these six statements:
You are committed to the United Brethren Confession of Faith.
The covenant is discussed in chapter 15 of the UB Discipline.
