After 2 1/2 months of interviewing and phone meetings, I received a two-sentence, generic form letter via email letting me know that our discussion was finished.
Please Understand... I don't mind a "no" answer. I was just amazed and disappointed that after 3 interviews and 10 weeks of walking this out together, I was dismissed with two, very impersonal sentences.
Its disheartening to see churches fall into this impersonal way of doing things. Am I frustrated? Yes. But in the process, not the answer.

In contrast: Monday, I sent a resume to the Vineyard Church in Grove City, Ohio (that would have been nice and close). Though I didn't get the job, I was contacted within 2 hours by the senior pastor (not his secretary) letting me know that he is already in the interview process with 6 other candidates. The answer was "no", but the process was personal and caring.
Bravo to you, Pastor Tom!
