Actually, I think that compared to other PCUSA churches, HP got a bargain. Here in Atlanta, churches that are interested in leaving with their property are being told much higher sums — some in the $50 million range. It is stifling the exodus here. This process of leaving varies greatly from presbytery to presbytery and state to state.

My former home church in Houston just had their vote to leave and was a couple dozen votes shy of the 2/3rds necessary. Irregularities were found with enough ballots to be questionable, but another vote was not allowed.

I hope you and yours find another church that fills your need and hopes.

Eventually THAT Church will come around to fixing their problems as well, I am sure.
