Grace Communion International is allowing those members in their midst who still hold on to all things HWA taught to keep a traditional Feast of Tabernacles in Monrovia this year. It is set up to run on the "official" dates of the Feast that other COGlets are keeping.
GCI also set up a Feast of Trumpets observance here in Southern CA for those members who want to keep it too. The silly thing is that the minister that spoke at is is a New Covenant minister who does not believe in keeping Trumpets. Why in the world the die-hard Armstrongites in GCI's midst would sit in a service on their Feast of Trumpets, which they believe is to be observed, and then to be preached at by a non-believer is beyond me. There is something wrong with that picture!
These people are still of the belief that God personally placed them in the WCG under HWA and that they are to remain true to the church where they were placed. They think they are preserving the faith once delivered and many have the hope that things will switch back to the old ways and they will then be used as instruments to teach the lax laodicean heretics on how things really should be kept.
What a conundrum!
