I will agree with all of this post except the "cowardly" accusation.
I think some cons left on principle not out of cowardice.
I do think a few left out of cowardice or not being able to stand the heat in the kitchen. For some when criticism came for associating with liberals and exUPCers they turned tail and ran. Didn't want to lose those booked meetings or fellowship or reputation.
A shame they couldn't have stood up for the principle of being mature enough to maintain ones convictions and doctrine while reaching out to others outside that paradigm.
If the complaint is that AFF is skewed too much toward the libs and exUPCers then no one is to blame but the conservatives themselves for leaving.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
