Re: UPC Affiliated?
I have seen the disadvantage where the pastor holds the license but the church is not affiliated. In this case there is no oversight outside of the board. BUT if the board is made up of weak men or yes men the pastor is in complete control. The pastor can too easily become controlling. Maybe not even intentionally but all too often it does happen.
In these cases when unethical things go on the saints are helpless. They can leave and try to start over somewhere else or they can stay with their trusts broken in the pastor.
Unfortunately many won't leave especially IF they have been in the church in question for many years or if they have children growing up there. The question becomes... do we go or do we stay...
And for those that do, it seems to take a long time to completely recover....
