If a minister who has joined a fellowship that makes collective decisions through a democratic resolution process cannot accept the will of the majority ... then ... no matter where they stand ideologically .... they have no business joining such an org

Matt I have never said you have to
agree with the decision made. I can, not agree with something, and still accept the will of the greater body. This can be done for the sake of unity while not compromising your personal convictions
Abortion is the example I gave before ... it's extreme but it can be any type of legislation or policy.
If you can't accept the direction ... or re-direction of the fellowship, or institution, you are part of and champion ... and would rather subvert the process by causing division, accuse others of not being holy or true to your heritage, or hypocritical,
it's best you leave.
The rules allow for changes ... some will not accept that.
