Only the person intending to have said conversation can determine whether or not that is the case. I think the main question is whether or not the pastor has been respectful and listened to her viewpoint in the past when she has tried to converse. In that case, I would say, yes, have that conversation. But if, in the past, she has left his office and bawled her eyes out, there is no need to put herself through that.

Two things spring to mind here:
1.) From EUD's first post, I didn't pick up on the fact that she had already had any face to face discussions with her pastor.
2.) Even if someone has had conversations prior that didn't turn out that good, they obviously made the decision to stay for the time being. So, in the event that they decide to leave, the courteous thing would be to go back in to the pastor, and not rehash the same old conversations, but let him know respectfully that you have made the decision to leave, and want to do so on the best terms possible.
I just can't visualize any scenario at all where it would be a good idea to just walk out without saying anything.
Just my opinion.
