Now I know little about religion, being an atheist, so forgive me if I am off, but: it seems to me that you belong to a progressive congregation, because your pastor is a female. Right? Shame on them, then, for having preconceptions about mental illness! And like you I do sense that MI IS the reason, because your qualifications are impeccable and I am sure they cannot find anything better for the price. I am really sorry such **** happened to you.
