Then throw the rascal out.
Which part of the country are you in?
Virginia. I'm too involved to just walk out but there are too many variables at play. I have never liked the Methodist model. The pastor has too much power. Our pastor does not abuse his power, he just sees no need to involve too many people in the decisions. And he is really too busy. If you ask the youth pastor about something, he says he has to talk to the head pastor. The head pastor blows him off so you get blown off by proxy. It's annoying.
The largest problem is that all our wives are in an uproar over the problems. Many people have spoken to him about theology and several have openly said they think he is unSaved. I don't think that is true. I just think he isn't comfortable with the mystery of God so he tends to overthink. Then he has the Hindus going to Heaven. The core group "opposing" him are almost all Emmaus-types(ie extremely grounded) and all have kids coming into youth activities. They have said they don't want the head pastor influencing their kids.
My biggest problem is that the pastor has absolutely no heart for the lost. He could care less if people go to Hell. If he believes in Hell at all which I doubt he does. So when we do mission work, it is all secular work.
We have unified and we have objected. But I sure am coveting that non-denom down the street. I wouldn't have to deal with liberal bishopettes or annual conferences or boards or any of that liberal pap that comes with being a mainstreamer.
