re A quick story from me {or not so quick}

[Guest guest]

: My friend Matt has recently resigned his post as children's

minister at an Episcopalian church. He had told a few people about his

experiences and they warned him not to tell people about them,

especially not the children. He finally bit the bullet and told the

church what was going on... and said he realized they didn't want him

to teach what was most real and true to him. It's a real loss for the

church, I think.

Yes.. I understand this... I am a youth leader at the church, in

charge of a monthly bible study for girls the grades of 5th thru

8th... and the past few months, it has been almost impossible.. and

how many times have I made my tongue bleed trying to stop the flow of

what I want to say... I have one more month, and have given them my

notice that I am no longer able to teach these girls. Lynette

I can really feel this one. I think that Matt is being pushed out of

the nest so that he can fly. I wish him well and hope he finds the

students who can hear his teaching. (I think we're out here)

 

Love, Mark

Another loss for the church! I know it's difficult... thanks for sharing

this. I'm forwarding your answer and Mark's to Matt.
