I came to this site through a Google search because we are about to quit church for good. Just weary of serving and giving and pouring out and having no connection to anyone no matter how hard we have worked trying to build relationship. And your article blames us. Great. Just great. Leadership is just a machine, run like a business corporation. Programs galore and all of us who volunteer are treated like staff. They don't want input. Interaction is like dealing with an HR department. This is not what Jesus wanted for His Body!

The only good thing that came from my visit here was reading findingellen's post. She gets it.
