Rev. Dillener was a classmate of Rev. Buschman at Princeton Theological Seminary. The congregation, much distressed at the leaving of the Buschmans, were not inclined to make a great effort to understand the Dilleners, who had just returned to the United States after a five year stint as missionaries in Iran. For their part, the Dilleners had some difficulty relating to their first pastorate in America. The search for a new minister was begun quite soon. Rev. Dillener's pastorate here was only one and one-half years in duration.
