Scenario

When faith communities must choose between prophetic voice and unity

Our church board is facing a decision about whether to publicly take a stand on a social issue that deeply matters to our community's values, but half the congregation thinks speaking out is essential to our faith and the other half thinks it will destroy the church as a refuge from politics. We meet next week and nobody knows how to bridge this gap.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A congregation confronts the ancient tension between speaking truth and keeping peace, knowing that either choice will wound someone they care about.
