Mr. Manuel Quijano, December 2010, removed from UCG ministry<\/p>\n

Mr. Pablo Dimakis,\u00a0December 2010, resigned form UCG ministry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where they all will go is a question, but there may be clues.\u00a0 Some may still remain affiliated with UCG, at least for a while.\u00a0 But COGA seems to be a likely location.<\/p>\n

For example, I noticed that Ken Geise, who left UCG in November, is now listed as “Director: Advisory Board” at COGA’s website, where he was not originally (see COG America: A Group of Former UCG Ministers<\/a>).\u00a0 If more former UCG ministers go there, this may be a significant problem for UCG.\u00a0 As of a few moments ago, former UCG President, Clyde Kilough, was not listed as a director or anything else at COGA, but like Ken Geise, this could change.\u00a0 I have seen no formal announcement from Clyde Kilough himself.<\/p>\n

The more UCG loses ministers in the USA, the greater its income drop will be. UCG may end up not being the largest COG with origins in the old WCG.<\/p>\n

UCG has long had issues. And governance, administration, and the limited fruits of its public gospel proclamation have long been part of them. A major income drop may have major ramifications there–especially if UCG members believe that a truly competitive organization to UCG, with many former UCG ministers, awaits them.<\/p>\n

Some articles of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Polycarp, Herbert W. Armstrong, and Roderick C. Meredith on Church Government<\/a> What form of governance did the early church have? Was it hierarchical? Which form of governance would one expect to have in the Philadelphia remnant? The people decide and\/or committee forms, odd dictatorships, or the same type that the Philadelphia era itself had?
\nUnity: Which COG for You?<\/a> Why so many groups? Why is there lack of unity in the Churches of God? Has it always been this way? What can\/should be done about it?
\nDifferences between the Living Church of God and United Church of God<\/a> This article provides quotes information from the two largest groups which had their origins in WCG as well as commentary.
\nThere are Many COGs: Why Support the Living Church of God?<\/a> This is an article for those who wish to more easily sort out the different COGs. It really should be a MUST READ for current and former WCG\/GCI members or any interested in supporting the faithful church. It also explains a lot of what the COGs are all about.
\nShould the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work?<\/a> Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul<\/a> and Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a> expect from evangelists?
\nThe Laodicean Church Era <\/a>has been predominant circa 1986 A.D. to present. These are non-Philadelphians who mainly descended from the old WCG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
