Is the UPC a Den of Incest (Growth Within)?

There seems to be something afoot that is bent on destroying the Church, using any means possible, including those who are its members. It seems to be moving beyond the actions of individuals to discrediting the Church as a whole. I am not just talking about the UPC either. We seem to be disintegrating into splits and factions, each with its own ideas, purpose, and goals. There is an old saying that says, "United we stand. Divided we fall."
