An annual holiday for men to celebrate the anniversary of a stag party by leaving the confines of normal life behind and religiously obeying only three rules:
a) No-one is a stag;
b) Everyone is a stag; and
c) Everyone behaves like a stag
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
