Interesting ... my exact problem is this:
I enjoy my LOCAL UPC church, but I am having a REAL PROBLEM with what I've recently found out about the Articles of Faith, etc. of the mothership UPC. So after ten glorious years of attendance at a local UPC church, I find out the FULL "beliefs" of UPCism. . . and I can't subscribe to that! And now that I know what I know, I'm having a problem supporting my beloved local UPC church...
Does this make sense? I wish I could shake this feeling and be more like you... but it really bothers me because I SO MUCH disagree with some of those rules... and don't want to be affiliated.
I'm disjointed and would welcome any advice here!
