So, The Hubby has been applying for coaching jobs all over the country. He hasn't been given any interviews (yet!), but we've heard good things back. Here's my question:

One of the schools he applied to wrote back and said that in order to be considered he has to be a member of a certain church (obviously a "religious" school...he works at one now, with no problems). We are not members of this church. We are members of the church I grew up in and therefore are somewhat attached to it(even though we haven't been in months).

On the one hand, he could always just say we'll worship at this church and then we don't, we can switch churches (not really what I want to do), or he can say thanks but no thanks.

Several people have said, "oh you just have to be a member of this church, not actually go to it". That is not the vibe I have gotten. The vibe I get is you must go to that church (and they will be checking).

To me, being a member also means giving money, right? Exactly how much of his salary will we be expected to tithe, you know?

Plus the job is in Alabama and we are in Ohio. Quite a move.

The whole thing just seems shady. I can teach at a catholic school without being Catholic as long as I teach Catholic beliefs.

I have my own opinion, but I don't want to influence him too much.

Any opinions, thoughts, ideas?
