Shemaya, that associate minister is indeed one of the most truly Christian, loving people I know. He is clearly in tune with God's love, which through him in both his personal interactions and in his ministerial role.
We haven't attended any church this year because of very chaotic and difficult life situations.
I heard a few months ago that the church had to cut its budget, and cut the associate minister's position. I assume that he would still attend there, and likely serve as a volunteer as much as he could, unless he got a job with another church somewhere else.
Logistics in life have improved enough that we could now return. We need to talk that over next week.
We're concerned about a couple of other situations that have nothing to do with that minister. There are several pieces to the puzzle, going back a bit more in my life history and in my partner's situation. Actually it would help me a lot to talk them over here, so I'll do that. I would welcome comments and perspective from others, along with questions where the story doesn't make sense.
