Believe me it is the talk of CA right now - I just cannot tell EXACTLY what went down- been busy but I'm sure we will all find out soon
To answer the Question about saints leaving, I just spoke to a saint from another church in CA. whose pastor may be leaving and they told me that if he leaves they are going to find another church.
The reason is, in their words, they feel a sense of safety being the UPC.
believe it or not, there is a sense that if a pastor messed up, the so called "Elders" in his life would tend to cover things up. i know it's happend in the UPC but some feel like it's less likely and there is more of a chain of commnad to turn to in crisis

Not that I believe that is necessarily a good thing - but I'm pretty sure it is there - which would mean that it IS affiliated.
