Rex has done an amazing job and God has blessed him and the church. By the time he got there much of the church had left for other churches but he provided a healing balm that allowed that church to come together and move forward, away from the past.
Well, thankfully, that was not the side we were on!
I just heard, this past week, that the majority of the people that left are now back. We were all very good friends and it was the hardest thing to do - to stand for what we knew was right and part company. The best friend in our wedding and my former roommate! It was a very hard deal, but God saw us through it!
My daughter and her husband were there last weekend.

What did they think? It is pretty...er...progressive for a UPC church.

Did RJ take the church that KC had started?

Heavens no! RJ took a church that had been there decades before KC came. KC reaped a harvest of saints from the church problems at the church RJ took. His timing was about perfect in coming to Austin as some of the "splitees" from that church ended up at KC's. KC's church was 90% UPC saints from two or three other area churches.
