I thank you all for your replies. I'm less angry today and more depressed about her situation. Our small church is this Pastors first church...she had a "calling" for lack of a better word in her late forties, gave up a succesful career in Social Servies and went to seminary. I have watched her enthusiasm dwindle for two years now, have watched her reach out many times only to be rejected time and again. Behavior like this is not acceptible in any situation but to have it blatantly and repeatedly in Gods House just astounds me!

Nice to see you here Consider This...but that kind of popularity I can do without. My "foolish response" is always the same.."I like her and think she is wonderful" The bible says we are supposed to "overwhelm our ministers with love and appreciation".

And David...no, these are not good Christians...they are regular pew warmers.
We all know the difference.
