I was just wondering what the list concensus was on tele-evangelism.  I know
the question has been brought up several times at various levels within the
UPC.

I used to be staunchly opposed to the idea because I could not see the
rationale between sanctioning television ministries and then preaching to
saints that they cannot possess a television.  However, with the increased
presence on the Internet of live Pentecostal services, I'm wondering what
the difference is.

Would it be all that bad to have a Oneness Broadcasting Network?  Could we
more effectively reach the lost whilst avoiding the pitfalls of other
lucre-based networks like TBN?

If television is the devil's playground, then surely the Internet must be a
full-fleged amusement park!

All Honour to Christ Jesus.
