The Kansas contingent of UPC has been so conservative he will be the second DS in modern times to go from heading up the UPC in his district / state to ditching it.
If the UPC is smart they will recruit some moderates to go into Kansas and start Home Missions churches in the major urban areas and larger towns to build a UPC presence there that will be moderate enough to not be ditching the Mothership every few years because they think it is too lib.
I find it ironic and rather funny that Kansas Preacher has stated that the previous bunch that left don't have much to do with him because he didn't leave when they did. The ultra cons don't even get along with each other!

No joke, I was a member a UC church in the Dallas area over thirty years ago, even though UPC distrusted and criticized every other UPC church in the area. "Yeah, you can go over there, but you will be leaving the cloud and the fire." And that was the attitude that was promoted. Oh, btw KP was a member of that church at the same time, so I can understand why he would be leaving. My leaving was precipitated to a great extent by the attitudes that were shown while at this church, especially during the HM and Kenneth Phillips oustings. This church has had its problems and has all but dried up since. These self-centered attitudes will not promote growth or revival or the spreading of the gospel. I'm am not referring to Kansas Preacher, since I have not seen nor heard anything from him for about thirty years until this forum, speaking of the UC world in general.
