Unless you are a licensed minister the only thing you are disobedient to is if you have a pastor that says "You better not, or else" type of preaching.

The AOF says "we disapprove of"...big deal. I acknowledge someone in the UPC disapproves of. The UPC does not, as an org, have the power to forbid anyone other than licensed minsters to do anything
