Look. I think the WPF forming was a good thing for the UPC - and I don't mean "good riddance" - just that there is a difference in direction. I don't wish to defend the ultra cons be they in or out of the UPC.
I believe the UPC is moving in the right direction in many areas. We have more progressive pastors than ever before. More are joining the UPC then are leaving. OK - so it may not be much, but that is far better than most mainstream denominations can say.
