I just said "no" to something...

This is not my nature, and is rare in my experience. But in this case, I think I made an adult decision.

The project was to mount a performance of the St. John Passion during Holy Week, 2012, at the church. Ultimately, I decided that the space was too small, the cost was not recoverable without fundraising, and my time was not going to allow proper preparation.

But it was not easy to make that decision.
