I don't disagree in principle with your statement. But from my experience (which I shared sometime back), those being purged aren't those who are chaff, only those who aren't totally in lockstep with the ruling clergy class (even when they don't know they aren't, and may be willing to comply if simply told otherwise--not in my case, though).

I agree and I didn't want to imply that all leaving were chaff. Certainly some are burn out from the corporate church experience or have been through one too many pastor changes and leave.
But when and if God does the pruning, it is a good thing.
