You see that too often in small towns. The politics of my home town is dominated by the fourth generation of the same family.
The people who gush about how great it is to live in a small town don't realize there are two sides to the story.
Living in a small town can be a great experience, or it can be a vindictive hell hole, depending on your origins.
Unfortunately, I see that happen in our church. I'm a member of a large Lutheran church adjacent to a Lutheran University. Even though they are entirely separate entities, our church is dominated by university staff. A cousin of mine and his family once moved back into town and joined the church because his father had been a member. Two years later, they went somewhere else, saying that in the entire two years, no one in any official capacity had shown any interest in them, or welcomed them into the church.
If my cousin had had connections to the university, his family would have automatically been instantly recognized and welcomed into the church. Yet the church preaches brotherhood and claims to welcome all members. I was on the Coordinating Council of the church at the time and made an interesting speech at one of the meetings, but once a culture like that is ingrained, nothing short of a major upheaval ever changes anything.
