The gospel of Jesus Christ is not about building an organization on this earth. It is about saving souls and upholding principles. Who cares what organization a person belongs to.
In fact it could be argued just as strongly that since the gospel is not about an organization why would an organization about Christ not want to give its members every opportunity to find the perfect place to serve God. In other words theres just as strong of a case that the UPCI acted unethically by not freely offering the name and addresses of all their members to another organization that wanted them.

The real problem here is that the WPF (or whatever unnamed org this is) has consistently said that they are not and would not "go after" UPC ministers and solicit their membership.
It's not like Lady Rev is getting Betty Crocker coupons in the mail when she prefers to bake with Duncan's cake mixes. As a UPC minister she and thousands of others are being solicited to join another org in contravention to the rules of the UPCI Manual.
