Then she pointedly told me about a woman who worked for her church. She said "I know that money goes right back to that church but it's don't ask, don't tell". She was clearly encouraging me to do that and if I'd had any connection I would have. Would your church "hire" you to do something simple for one quarter if you were "donating" the money right back?
I don't think my church would do it. However, I am thinking about applying at Hobby Lobby. It would be low stress retail job that is closed every Sunday.

Another option, as my pdoc said, is to go ahead and get that stressful job (they would likely hire me as I left on great terms) and if I have to quit that it will show all the more reason to be on disability. If I can handle it then I will be better off.
