It appears to me that ANY such fundamental difference in ANY religious organization would produce just such a natural evolution over time that has occurred in the UPC: one view prevails, one does not.

IMO, they (both sides of the UPC) should have fellowshipped the things they had in common in conferences and organization functions and left the differences for the individual churches with their pastoral leadership. More effort should have been spent by leadership on teaching love, peace, and unity within the body of Christ.
Did you read any of Scalia's comments to Jason and to Dan on Jason's blog? Interesting stuff.
