Church Internship Stipend--Is It Taxable?

I worked a Youth Ministry Internship for close to 6 months that was not college-related. The "payment" received was a monthly stipend. The amount is printed in box 7, but I'm wondering if, since the intent of this and any internship, is to gain work experience, I can put it under "other income" and report that the intent wasn't to earn payment?

Does it make a difference that it's in box 7 and not box 3 on my 1099 MISC?
