In a couple of emails received today, Carolyn Kizer states that she and husband Homer Kizer (one of the principal players along with Norm Edwards and Terry Williams) are returning to Alaska and are no longer associated with the Center. Williams appears to be the last man standing at PABC (the Center, not the Campus?), though given the Byzantine complexities of life at the "tip of Michigan's thumb" I suspect there's more to it than that. Somewhat related ministries (you'd probably need a flow diagram to sort out exactly how they fit in) include the Philadephia Church (nothing to do with PCG) and the Port Austin Sabbatarian Community.

Port Austin - the COG Oneida
Utopian communities are rarely utopian, and the Port Austin Bible Center - or is it the Port Austin Bible Campus - is a sobering example. The Port Austin soap opera has been playing out ever since 2004. In 2007 AW characterized it as "the empire of puddles" following an earlier post that attracted a good deal of comment, "Matchmaker, matchmaker".

There is one obvious thing about Homer and his wife...they do NOT like Norm Edwards!
LET IT HEREBY BE KNOWN AND PUBLISHED, Norman Scott Edwards has no affiliation with or standing in the Port Austin Sabbatarian Community (PASC). He has been marked by PASC as a person to be avoided. Therefore, PASC is not responsible for indebtedness incurred by Edwards in his business dealings in unregistered and unlawfully used assumed names similar to PASC's; e.g., Port Austin Sabbatarian Church Community Sacred Purpose Trust, and/or Port Austin Sabbatarian Community Church.
Well what can you expect from the one whose brother-in-law went to prison for one of the biggest scams in history -- the Sears Die Hard Battery scam? People were seduced into a compound whose ownership was nowhere near those who sponsored the compound.
Any of those involved with the principle character in this drama should beware and that includes some more recent forays into cooperative associations.
Black Ops-
In all fairness, who amongst us wants to have to take credit for a brother in law? I think everyone ON EARTH has a goofy brother in law, and also a weirdo uncle!
Connie, that depends on what business was conducted with the assistance of the brother-in-law, uncle....
Wouldn't you think, with all participants fully imbued with God's Holy Spirit, that everyone would get along and everything would go well?
