Hello, First of all, I want to say that I appreciate that bishops are people who make mistakes like anyone else, also I understand that we have ward boundaries for a reason. Background: We moved into our ward 2 years ago, and my husband was having trouble finding a job when we first arrived. We were very blessed that the 2nd counselor had a job opening where he was a manager. After my husband worked for him for a few months we began to see a different side of this counselor. He became unrealistically demanding of my husbands time, and very rude and degrading to him overall. I know this isn't in my husbands head, because I have seen it happen. This made us feel uncomfortable in our ward, but we weren't going to let one person affect our attendance. Throughout the 2 years we have also struggled with our ward, feeling left out and just overall not feeling wanted. However, we have continued to attend because we are not there for our ward, we are there for God and for ourselves. This Sunday, that counselor who hired my husband 2 years ago was appointed bishop. I am personally struggling with this. Not because I don't want him to be bishop, like I said I know that we are all humans and make mistakes, but we already felt very uncomfortable in our ward and I feel like this kind of pushed us over the edge a bit. I would really like to begin attending the other ward in our building, we have been considering this for over a year now, in hopes that we would find a home there. I feel like we have tried our best to make this ward work, but we really haven't found a resolution yet. Is it wrong to try to switch wards? Especially having the final straw being a new bishop? Ultimately I want to do what is right, but I feel like I'm in kind of a grey area. We wouldn't be leaving due to a disagreement with the church, or with any feelings of hate involved, we just need a good, supportive ward. What do you think? Is going to another ward wrong?
