As far as I know, there is only one congregation in Eastern that has a majority of their members leaving.Ernie wrote:Are there particular congregations in which the majority of the members are wanting to be part of this new conference?YorkandAdams wrote:It's over internet and enforcement of standards. Appalachian Mountain Church wants a more consistent application of standards over the internet issue. They also feel that Eastern has slipped on enforcement of standards quite a bit.

They got guts to take a stand like that, and I wish them well in the future.
I would never have guessed that there would someday be a group who would one day try to "out-Eastern" the Easterns. But I guess once you get a freight train rolling, it is hard to stop it.
It's the church in Manitoba that kicked this whole thing off (can't remember the name) which has the majority of families leaving.
Some of the people I know leaving for sure are from the following congregations
miners village
honey brook
waterloo
owasco lake
little falls
