I was raised Catholic, not CRC, but your essay really resonated with me as a married queer person. I was a Sunday school teacher and VBS volunteer as a high schooler, and I had so much love for the Church. It's now been a decade since I've set foot in a church outside of funerals. Why love an institution that can't or won't love me back, even if I still love the people? Thank you for this essay, and for the pod.

thanks for writing in! it’s some deep, deep pain but i think it helps to talk about it
