Trust me, none of it is that hard to leave if you love Jesus more than real estate.
Um... yes and no. I had the advantage of a move so there was absolutely no tie to "real estate," but it still wasn't easy to leave, (P)ECUSA, the church body I'd belonged to all my life.
But I did, and I cannot imagine ever returning. Just as I once could never imagine leaving.
(When did the "P" vanish from the acronym, anyway?)
