Look, I know that if it came right down to it what OUR family would do. That is all I can look at. We're attached to the people we go to church with, but I couldn't care LESS about the building. Unless there is a LOT more to this than meets the eye, we would just cut our losses and walk away. And I can't imagine what could be involved that would stop us from doing that.
We wouldn't want our family embroiled in church troubles anyway. No way would we stay in a church with this kind of conflict, with our children there as witnesses.
Sometimes you just lose. It's okay to lose. God will pick up the slack.

Some of these folks like me have way to many memories and ties to the building. My grandfather had to put his name on the mortgage as one of the board members. People died building that church. So in my opinion they have every right to disagree with some egotistical man from California who has been in this city for 4 years. That building has been a symbol of the UPC not only in our city but throughout the entire south. So I think if you will not fight for something that you put forth blood sweat and tears into and something that is tangible you will be to spineless to fight for anything.
