Before your time, I was a speaker at Cornerstone Festival (in the early 90's.) The Festival is held at a beautiful location. The wife and I miss Cornerstone and Jesus People very much. We had to leave because we converted to Orthodoxy, you see.
It's not as bad as it sounds. Jesus People, USA (juh-poo-zah for short) is a community of people that live together, but they are also a congregation. For us to stay would have introduced a great deal of spiritual discord that would have caused a great deal of grief and probably the sundering of the community. A Very Bad Thing

if i end up going to seminary and becoming ordained, i'll never be allowed to preach at my home church X) i love them, and i grew up with them, but if i started trying to speak there, it would cause a lot of problems. i'd rather not do that. they're my spiritual family, even if we argue about who does what at the family reunions.
i think it's really cool that you wanted to leave on amiable terms, and made it clear that you thought that the work they were doing was good.
