Yes …

Yes … I do realize just how poorly worded my question was in the conversation I wrote about yesterday.

I’m not sure why they chose me for a role that requires gifts in interpersonal communication in tense situations.  I’ve never had that.  Ever.  My gifts in that area (if it is a gift) are honesty and directness – often brutal in combination.  Interpersonal skills have always been my weakest point (well, that and athletic ability but that rarely comes up these days).

Why did they think I’d be good at this?  Is it too much of a handicap to be a leader in a congregation?
