I wonder who that family member was afraid would embarass him?
It is worth noting that in the midst of the scene SS admits to freely throwing around the name of this relative and then put it in writing on the internet.
Wouldn't be a stretch in my family.

well, I personally wondered why he wanted to be there.. but understand better from his letter.
i just know that family is a funny thing... blood is pretty thick, I just think it would take more than his past leaving upc and/or disagreements to be called an embarrasment to family. Some people don't like attention drawn to them unless it is positive of course... that I can understand... to some he might have been.
I just don't see SS as a person going to just stir up a ruckus... He probably was there just to observe...that statement I totally believe. He is an intelligent attorney and great bible teacher... I know that when my sister was Asst Treas of Indiana Republicans, she would call him to pray at state dinners/functions.
