Our book club started as a way to explore spirituality together but one member keeps steering every discussion toward their particular tradition and another gets defensive whenever we read anything that challenges their childhood faith. We used to have such rich conversations and now we're all walking on eggshells.
More people experience this than they realize.
The attempt to explore the sacred together can become a contest of convictions, transforming inquiry into advocacy and wonder into defensiveness.
