The church will survive. That's what intervention/interim ministers are for: they're trained to handle situations like this. My dad's been through two of them in the past four years. But it's not going to be stable for at least another year. i would be tempted to stay through the next year and see where they're at by next summer's end. ELCA confirms late now, as I recall.
