Or have more accommodating people. I've given this some thought; there is a more formal, larger venue in the same denomination that is farther away but still workable. He's attended a few functions there, doesn't agree with their core practices, and yet if it's this or nothing, he might choose to relocate on a regular basis. Thursday night went as usual; upon return, Spouse stated "if Worship Leader had an animus with me, he's not going to bring it up in front of others in the class." True enough. Today we'll see if the extra attention Spouse has paid to his cleanliness continues. I plan to text Office Lady right after Spouse leaves for the service and gauge her response before taking any action blocking, etc.
Very few want to do the hard work of interacting with those who are difficult, and so lots of people wind up being isolated. Boy howdy, it sure is. The group is filled with elders who are vital, non-handicapped, and amenable to physical activity. Beside the deceased man who had used a cushion in the ten years I knew him, there was a now deceased lady who towed her oxygen cart each time to services, bless her heart. Nobody attending now has a readily apparent disability except Spouse.
I may have given the wrong impression about the place. It's a private home bought especially for religious services and it's across the street from Worship Leader's home where he lives with his family so there's no handicapped ramp or other accommodations that official places have.
