    There’s a non zero percent who simply can’t afford to disaffiliate. I know the state I’m in was charging them a percentage of the value of the church buildings and some other costs if they chose to disaffiliate. Turns out there’s a lot of small country churches that aren’t as financially well off as a lot of people seem to think.
