(I reposted it since google had messed up the formatting on the post) Your name made me laugh because so often I and my best friend refer to me as the Church Lady when we talk about the part of myself that I was not fond of.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357293290630832549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-18265784001183575432009-09-22T11:14:27.997-04:002009-09-22T11:14:27.997-04:00From Preacherlady:
I discovered your blog through...From Preacherlady:<br /><br />I discovered your blog through naked pastor.First of all, thank you. There are a lot of us out there. As I contemplate starting my own blog, I realize that I need to, if only to ask forgiveness of those I mislead as I was mislead.The first time I left was over 30 years ago, and I was one of the upfront leaders. I ran the weeknite service, I counseled, I taught and I was wrong. I didn't know it at the time, but I was still wrong. The ministry collapsed and people got hurt. Now, 30 yrs. later, I minister outside the traditional church to people who have been hurt by it. As I read through your postings, and went to some of the other blogs, I realize its the same basic story...just a variation on a theme. I pray your wounds heal and that you will be a healing agent in the lives of those who share the story. Again, thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
