Scenario

When religious communities must decide who belongs after belief changes

Our worship team is struggling because our lead guitarist has become agnostic but loves the music and community, and some members think it's inappropriate while others want to be inclusive. We're a volunteer group but this is dividing us and affecting our ability to serve our congregation.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Faith communities face tensions between doctrinal consistency and relational loyalty when beloved members' beliefs change but their commitment to community remains.
