OMG!!!! The quote below describes exactly the attitude of FFWPU toward Sanctuary Church.
The quote below is from the article, "How Yale University Became a Savage Bigoted Tribe" linked in this post.
"When a person of principle (like Dr. Christakis) makes the mistake of trying to argue honestly against some tenet of progressivism, she is met first with blunt, dull shock and incomprehension. “Surely there’s some mistake… you are apparently one of Us, but what you’re saying sounds as if it’s coming from one of Them. Let’s start you off with a warning.” If the honest person persists, under the illusion that she’s dealing with rational people who aim at truth, they go off and form an ad hoc committee, and attempt an “intervention,” which will warn the unlucky dissenter of the consequences if she won’t get with the program. If that fails (it usually doesn’t), the public denunciations start, and they won’t stop until the dissenter’s good name and career are on the trash heap. With the scapegoat safely destroyed, the Collective returns to normal, energized in fact by the exercise in group purification. Readers of Rene Girard will find this process drearily familiar.
And so Dr. Christakis and her family will leave New Haven quietly, to the jeers and taunts of the mob, who are safe and warm together in the mindless embrace of the herd. It’s the same herd that will, if we let it, stampede the rest of us next."

I guess that might also explains how the FFWPU became a savage bigoted tribe!
