So the test is after you take some to task and the retell it what might they say about how you dealt with them. Again you can worry too much but the image of your church can be tarnished if you do it out of anger. We here at my church call it our "vendor ministry" and try to reflect Christ in our dealings. I'm not always so good about it. It doesn'y mean you can't hold someone's feet to the fire because after you are required to be a good steward of the church's resources.As far as your reputation you are right but you do need to be concerned about your credibility. Maybe a subtle difference but your credibility to your church leaders comes from the results of the choices you have made tech wise. In some cases even if it is someone else's mistake you will be the one holding the bag.I hope you get it all resolved. How you deal with him will be a reflection on you and the church. You and those of us that do what you do have a secret weapon..... prayer and the Holy Spirit for guidance. Perception is also an important part at a church whereas as work it is less important.
