Should I quit church choir ?
Choir director only wants her voice to be heard. She uses 2 microphones and puts microphone for the choir. People in church say only choir director voice is heard and that the rest of the choir is lip singing. The choir director says she is the main soloist and people in the front are able to hear us.

If you love to sing, stay and tough it out and work on your personal talent and ability. But if you feel more of a passion for the principle of the thing, quit. Your not a quieter, your standing up for yourself.
Remember it should be about the music. Sing to sing, not to be herd. When opportunity comes knocking you will be ready.
If what you are saying is true, you need to get such opinion together with the rest of the choir and then try and sing over her.
A group should carry plenty of volume to even reach to the microphone in front of the director. As this could even disrupt and distort anything that microphone is picking up as background.
Hope then, as majority rules, the director gets the message and dials it down and allows for the other voices to express themselves. Even, go to the parishioners or church directors with such a problem if the choir won't cooperate.
Sad to think a good choir director assumes that they are the only soloist to perform, and not allow their choir to grow and gain the experience they should be allowed to have.
Vanity shouldn't be an issue, especially in any church environment.
Remind everyone of that, who has to have such attention and any personal glory.
