This makes me glad for you & sad for the "institution" of Christianity I so love. So, SO much harm is being done in the mis-spoken name of Christianity, yet "the church" is needed to do good. I'm happy to have found one that truly welcomes all & seeks only to live as Christ lived. The older I get (and I'm a GEEZER!) the more I cherish my book group, my walking & traveling buddies, my fellow volunteers for good causes - - and my church. Peace to you, and every good wish for your journey.
