Briefly, he wasn't kicked out of the clergy, he left voluntarily:-""I have sometimes thought that, in order to be a good minister, it was necessary to leave the ministry." As for Thoreau and Lydia/Lidian Emerson, there is speculation, based on them all sharing a house and Lydia's jealousy towards Margaret Fuller, but little evidence. All the actual evidence points to a deep friendship, a familial bond, and a times a degree of hero-worshipping from Thoreau, but nothing more. Remember too that Transcendentalists are deeply religious people.
