I'd reassure the congregants that you aren't leaving them because you needed better than they can offer but that you needed different than can be offered. I'd tell them it was a hard decision but one that needed to be made for your family. And I'd tell them that you will still care what happens to this place that has been your home, that it wasn't just a job and out of sight out of mind.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-85629443482243093562009-06-28T11:07:15.170-04:002009-06-28T11:07:15.170-04:00You shouldn't put things in the negative.
