"We were encouraged..." that's a loaded term. How about just saying "we were pressured", or "we were brow-beaten" instead?
It's like the word "fellowship". When is fellowship ever a two-way street with Rome (sorry, I mean Anaheim)? You get your "fellowship" from them, which is really a directive. In my local church we wanted to give a conference on a topic, and a brother came from Anaheim, and had "fellowship" with our elder, and instead we ended up re-hashing the latest training in Anaheim.
