I will certainly post it - it is interesting looking back for me, too!

Our church (the United Reformed Church) has a very long tradition of such decisions being made by the congregation rather than by someone 'outside' like a bishop - the church was formed by the coming together of the Congregational Church and the English Presbyterian Church. Of course congregations and ministers do make mistakes and end up with someone who doesn't 'fit' - but there is also the feeling that they have some responsibility for, and control over, such a situation, and it is pretty rare.
