Why I Didn't Go to Church
I got angry afterwards
I felt I would be disruptive
I felt like it was a political convention
I didn't feel part of the church
I did not believe they wanted me
It was hard for me to sit through church service because they were long and because of my mental illness
Why Go Back to Church Now?
There is more humility in the American churches today
I have worked through most of my big issues with God and the church
There are little obvious political or doctrinal divisions
I have decided not to say much about myself
I felt like God wants me to go
I have an easier time sitting through shorter services as I have further recovered or compensated for my mental illness
