[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been regular church-goers and active in our church community for 20 years.  During the pandemic the church did youtube services, but I just couldn't get into them.  Now in-person services are starting again and I have zero interest in attending.  It's not that I've lost my faith in God or some higher being that is loving kindness, but I just don't see the connection between that faith and church services or activities.  Does anyone else feel this way or have you ever felt this way?  How did you journey forward?    [/quote]

Thanks for asking this, OP. I know what you mean. I'm forcing myself to go back and I realize how much I've missed it... although, I'm annoyed that my church is still requiring masks. I think that is keeping an unnecessary barrier between people in place and is contributing to the feeling you have described.

We are meant to worship in community.[/quote]

SOME PEOPLE prefer a religious community.  And God knows churches emphasize the importance of group worship.  Without it, they would go out of business.  What COVID seems to have done is make some people realize how much they crave community, while others have found they prefer the spirituality of being alone, perhaps in nature.[/quote]

Geeze triggered much? There is no spirituality in being alone. That is what drives people to the depths of depression [/quote]
