Dear Annie: My husband and I belong to different churches. He's been a member of his for 50 years, and I've been with mine for 30.What's wrong with this picture? (1) Not belonging to her husband's church, (2) a female pastor, (3) church ethics, (4) having to preach to her own pastor, and (5) expecting a pastor to change beliefs just because a member is upset.
He was recently hospitalized, and someone from his church came to visit, as did my pastor. But when I spoke to my pastor, she said she did not think it was good church ethics to pray for a non-member, so she didn't pray for my husband during his illness. ...
Dear Disappointed: Talk to your pastor, and explain how upset you were ...

When I first moved San Jose, I asked a local church to pray for my wedding. For sure, I was not a member because I was the newcomer. The pastor refused to do that although my sister in law was a member for more than a decade. I went out to find a commercial pastor and got my wedding done. Sometimes, I still visit that church because my sister in law goes there but I never donate them any penny. I prefer donating to school or library.
