We started calling it the Houston Congregation for Rich Jews since their initials were HCRJ.
We both still consider ourselves UUs. Although we are too far from any UU fellowship or church to consider attending.
There was a fellowship in Houston where I was the music director. The old people who founded it fired the half-time minister and decided to make it totally lay-led. This disgusted me & I thought of it as amateur hour. I started a choir and was told by one of the board members that "This congregation is only interested in instrumental music.' The regular piano player held the power, not me. She spent the money in the music fund without telling me, before I spent it for sheet music. The board couldn't understand why I was furious over that.
I was the piano player in the summer, unpaid of course.
She also got the board to buy a very nice grand piano when I couldn't even get a choir together--they griped about "it's the wrong night of the week" or some such bullshit.
I gave up and resigned. I hate church/synagogue politics.
