The problem with churches is that they allow people in.
People can be a PITA. Some have me wonder if they are.. no, scratch all that. Sorry.

In reality, people are wunderful and nearly always a pleasure to be 'round, fun even. But its the castle building they all get up to that causes all the friction.
That's just what I was gonna say.

I'd also say that the only possible way to deal with such a situation is to be Christ-like (and that's coming from a quasi-Buddhist!), to utterly forgive those who've wronged you and also let go of any ego you've attached to your own contributions, and to start again fresh, with no expectations but a desire to contribute whatever you can...
