So I don't think it's you at all - ministers are busy
That is comforting to hear. I feel so much like I'm on the outside of some circle of people, but in trying to articulate who constitutes that circle at any given church I realize the minister isn't any nicer to other people than s/he is to me, everyone else just seems obviously at home (since it's their church and they have people and stuff to do and so on) and of course I'm very aware of my not quite fitting in there. And I wonder who the minister *does* have as close people because being a minister is such a weird position to have in terms of your obligations and relationships with people.
