Dear Editor,

Thank you to Ann Culley (May en) for her moving letter on singleness and life after mission work. Her words resonated deeply with me. As a child, I felt called to mission, believing it meant overseas service. Instead, I’ve served in the NHS since 2011.

Raised in a charismatic church, I was taught that a woman’s purpose was marriage and motherhood. Even after moving to a Baptist church, the pressure to marry remained.
