I know that he has fellow-shipped with former UPC ministers that he attended college with.

Him and Deb were at our house many times when we first started attending. He WAS pretty strict at the time but he was not part of the "royal priesthood" that is so many pastors. I don't ever recall ever hearing a fear based sermon about someone disobeying the man of God and dying as a result. OK, I do remember fear based sermons but he was not a man who felt he was always being challenged. He gained respect because he was respectable, not because he demanded it because of his high and lofty position.
