Bit awkward, really want to but feel it would be the biggest etiquette failure to do so. We all bumble along very nicely in our community, everyone knows everyone else and everything everyone gets up to.
The vicar however is a bit of a dick and he has really ruined our church since he has arrived.
From the christening of our second child, telling all my relatives off that he hadn’t seen them in church before (they lived 1-4 HRs drive away) and did they know there is such a thing as a collection tin and what they are to do about it on their departure from the service.
To the nativity service, informing us that turning up with children dressed up in nativity clothes was not the done thing.
Well now he is a father himself and he is now massively embracing children and after years of insulting us parents I just cannot face going back to the church, we go for high days and holidays to a neighbouring one. He now wants us to get involved. Keeps sending email after email inviting us to kiddy friendly events for us to join in on. Reminding us of our sins of not being involved.
Other friends still frequent his church so I know word will get through to them if I ask him to stop keep sending the emails. So feeling a bit awkward about sending him an ‘unsubscribe’ request (which incidentally there is not a link for) so will be an email specifically.
Equally though I am fed up keep receiving his emails reminding me of my Christian duty.
Any suggestions on the best way to tackle it?
