Why are people in a place of worship always so excluding?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi:
I was wondering why so many people at places of worship seem to have an easy time connecting while persons who are different always exploited.

My experience is contrary to that "always".

I have seemed to notice this at just about every congregation that though I get along with people, I seem to hear them making plans to this or that together right in front of me.

I'm not religious but I did had some contact with catholic church and I had a very different experience. it was one of the few places I felt genuinely welcomed and people were warm and nice, they where also quite progressivist, I learned too much from them although I didn't engaged in any religious activity (I just used to volunteer at a second hand shop in a church)


maybe I was just lucky?? because I know people who has different experiences. .

Oh don't get me wrong, I have had good experiences of them welcoming me and even offering to eat lunch with me and mingle with me during events. I even have no problem attending events planned through the congregation. Really, it;s more the personal things like seeming to find something who wants to ask me to do this or that like:
"Doing a wine tasting" or "Seeing a play." Yet, I seem to hear them making plans with other people to do those things.
