One sees this sort of thing in the American South in 
fundamentalist congregations.  A minister takes 
a position in a sermon that is unpopular, the head of 
the ladies cake committee protests to her 
husband who is also the local car dealer and 
mayor, the mayor calls his buddy who owns 
the cigarette factory who tells his workers that 
anyone supporting the minister should consider 
themselves a short timer, and a week later, a
new church is going up down the street from the 
old one: The Even MORE Fundamental Church of 
the Ever Yammerin' Politically Faithful.   Without 
the financial support of the cigarette maker 
and car dealer, the old church folds and the 
minister of that church is sent in humiliation 
by the association to a bigger city to be an 
assistant pastor in a ghetto.  The mayor's 
wife is satisfied, the mayor is fatter, the 
cigarette maker is emboldened to reduce wages, 
and the new young minister of the new church 
is instructed about what topics will keep 
him in town, and what topics will see him 
move to a ghetto if the mayor's wife doesn't 
like him.

Grits, anyone?

This move to move doesn't make sense.  Not for 
what is obviously a technical glitch. We're being 
had.
