The UPC Rev.'s Thou Shalts and Thou Shalt Not

[NorCal]

I think the "Letter of Recommendation" or "Transfer" was to try to limit church hopping of "leadership" members. Those such as Musicians, Teachers, Worship Leaders.

All in all most of these by-laws were implemented due to past situations that had occurred and needed to be resolved. I think some of them you could throw under "Pauline Instructions". So are antiquated.

My concern is for the lack of unwillingness to submit to anyone by some pastors (of any organization). Every man (even a minister) needs to be accountable to someone else.
