That is how my dad handled it and how he taught me it should be handled. He even helped dig the foundation for the new pastor's church and provided any assistance he could. His view... simple... if God is in it I don't want to fight it and if God is not in it it won't prosper. It didn't prosper and the folks were welcomed home with open arms by a man how never offended them by his ignorance.
