Re: CLC Austin
RJ has done a great job in South Austin. He has a lot of friends and relatives outside of the UPC but also has a lot in it.
My understanding is that he is showing up at more Global and maybe other events. Don't know if he will actually make a move to leave the UPC or is waiting for them to push him out.
If DB's letters through the various District Superintendants calling for pastors to toe preaching the standards line and that if they are unwilling to do so they should leave becomes enforced I believe he would leave.

I've always understood that he was licensed with the UPCI, but that his church is NOT UPCI.
Am I wrong?

Correct but that is the case with the majority of churches. Not that many churches are actually UPC themselves it is usually just the pastors.
Most churches and pastors don't want their local district to have the control and power over them that being officially a UPC church means.
