How I was treated by my church during a break-up was more heart-breaking than losing the relationship

When Minister Maureen Morgan had her heart broken in church, she had to juggle the end of the relationship and the church’s response to it.

I wanted to share my personal experience, even though it’s an experience many of us share. I had my heart broken by someone in church. My safe place, where I find peace. I didn’t expect it to happen, especially when the man I met was a born-again Christian a man of God.

If you have met someone you thought was your, “one” only to find out later they are not, it can be overwhelming. Especially if you are still going to the same church as the man who didn’t treat you well. You may feel uncomfortable because the man who broke your heart gets treated as the victim. In some cases he might get all the support, prayers, and encouragement from the senior pastors, most times these situations are seen from a male perspective. You become stigmatised by the leadership team who seem to follow their own views not scripture.
