I was simply responding to the question about how my church felt about my leaving. What did you want me to do, lie and say we lost 10 families when they found out. I explained the history of the church. Their feelings about my departure are not because I am some kind of dictator who tells them what to think. Nevertheless, I think that any lead worth his salt will have an influence on the way his people feel about things. I would hate to think that the people I pastor loved the UPC more than they loved the church they attend. To walk out on family members, friends, people who taught them Bible studies, helped them through difficult times, etc., all because their pastor no longer was the member of a particular organization.
