This is due in part to the blended co-workers equaling the feeling of the body. Whatever the co-workers may say, that's received as "feeling of the body". Agree or disagree, elders feel to honor the feeling of the body as expressed through the blended brothers.
Whether the elders from the church in Phoenix choose to fellowship with the Church in Scottsdale, it becomes a matter of "honoring feeling of the body". (i.e. what does Anaheim say?)

Well, at risk of speaking out of turn, I think it has been tried before to no avail, or at the least, not much. That is, SC brothers were open to starting some LC fellowship, but not much happened. Again, I just vaguely remember hearing something along those lines, so I may not be entirely accurate (and am conveying this from 3rd hand recollection).
But withersoever the Lord leads!
