I was thinking broader, bigger, and in terms of the general movement, but that's okay.
The church board often is static (pardon the pun) due to unwillingess. And when we consider the average church in the UPC has around 75 members, it's obvious the pool of potential candidates is small. In this environment it becomes needful to develop potential replacements.
Another thing to consider is that appointments are normally yearly, and need to be ratified by the voting body of any incorporated assembly.
I have seen the extreme you allude to here. Tell me, is that pastoral patience - or apathy
