You are, thankfully, totally wrong about the 'weight' of my opinions on this matter as I've always said that the Tulsa crew had a right to do what they felt was right in their hearts. I have no beef with either side and, with God's graciousness, am in a position to be respected it seems on both sides of that coin.
I have preached for or with most all of the '6' and have a good report among those brethren. I also preach for a lot of officials as well and love those brethren equally as much. Surely the Bible is right when it tells us the value of a 'good name' being more important than 'great riches'.
For example, I'm preaching for one of the 'coordinators' and then less than a month later preaching for their District Superintendent. I'm not here with an axe to grind... just a prinicple of integrity to protect.

It should be interesting for folks like you over the next year or two. It will be interesting to see if there are no problems with you preaching for both UPC and WWPF pastors and meetings. I know theoretically there should not be but many times reality intrudes.
