Isn't it true that most affiliated churches are affiliated because they took Home Missions money to help start, build and expand the church.
If that were not the case in the starting of this or any church the UPC would have no legal standing to force the church against the will of the church board. All Nathan Morton would need to do is turn in his card with the UPC and pastor the church.
