I left the church and never came back after a church official asked me to take my child (6 months old) outside (in winter) because they needed complete quiet in the building. This same group also insisted I nurse in a bathroom stall because nursing elsewhere was just not modest. Basically I felt that motherhood made me less a member of the congregation and I decided not to go where I felt unwelcome. Several other mothers left too. I enjoyed your program today where Michelle differentiated between faith and religion. I guess I had not thought about it that way. When I left the church my faith went too, but according to what I heard today..it did not have to.
