FTR HF,
I am an ordained minister of the UPCI.
I preach outside the organization frequently and have never had an issue like this come up, until recently when I preached for an ex-upcer.
I have been licensed for 12 years and can tell you that even with it's problems, I am still happy to be a member of the UPCI.
I think we need to be careful to note that what we are talking about here is not happening in every District and to every one that has left the UPC.
In general we are talking about a few isolated instances.
