FB Advice
I don't know how much you guys know or understand about my religious background. I was an active member of a pretty strict church until I was 18; leaving was one of the hardest decisions I've ever done. It meant starting over entirely because everyone treated me kind of like I'd died. (No joke - they grieve, and they act differently toward you.) I was VERY close to my Pastor and his family - he was like the father I'd always wanted.
He friended me on Facebook. 
I accepted because not accepting and seeing I'm active is an action in and of itself. (Does that make sense? He'd be able to see that I was active on FB, but hadn't accepted his request.)
He wrote on my Wall "Pastor h loves u and hope all going good come see us when u can" (I modified it because he's a terrible speller, but the meaning is pretty clear.)
I have no idea how to respond to that. Not responding could be taken as action as well, you know? But I'm not sure what to say. I ABSOLUTELY miss him. BUT... no way will I return to "see them" because that means attending the church I left. AWKWARD doesn't even begin to describe it. Not to mention pressure... you attend and they try every which way to get you to return to being a regular member of that church (not something I'm interested in.)
Thoughts/suggestions on how to handle this?
Re: FB Advice
I think this is one of those situations that if you do decide to respond you need to be very careful how your word something, so there is no question of reading in between the lines.
I would say something like this:
Hello Pastor H. It's great hearing from you, I hope all is well with you and the congregation.
