Answer :
In the book "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminister Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt, Reverend Buckminister sides with the Phippsburg townspeople against the people of Malaga Island because the Reverend learns that Turner went to the island with Lizzie Griffin, an African American girl.
Turner first meets Lizzie, a negress, at the shore and takes an instant liking to her. She takes him to Malaga Island to meet her grandfather who is a preacher. Turner spends a glorious day on the island meeting Lizzie's neighbors and playing with the children. He enjoys "the cold wildness" of the island.
When he returns home, Turner finds the Phippsburg townspeople at his place and their leader Deacon Hurd convincing his father to get the island clear of all its dirty and stupid inhabitants so that it can be utilized for building a beautiful resort. The leader forces Turner to admit that he had been to the island with Lizzie. On learning this fact, Reverend Buckminister is forced to side with the Phippsburg townspeople.
