I went through a similar situation. When I signed the AS for the last time, I told the church I pastored that I would not be signing again and that they had 1 year to decide if they wanted a UPC pastor or change the by-laws. 1 year later, they decided 100% to change the by-laws.

Is the SUP the new separated UPC?

From everthing I have read. I would attend a church you pastor if we lived in the same town.

You seem like a Man of Word, Man Of God and Man of Friendship...

So you would split a church because you do not agree with the Org??

From you I would expect nothing less.

See my answer in the antithetical thread of similar name... Same one goes here!

I am expecting the Christ Church board to place Pastor Hardwick in this situation just any day now!
