Scenario

When faith communities discover irreconcilable differences about social action

Our church council is trying to decide whether to take a public stance on a controversial social issue and we're discovering that people we've worshipped with for years have completely different understandings of what our faith requires of us. The conversation has become so tense that some people have stopped coming to meetings entirely.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A religious community is learning that shared worship doesn't guarantee shared understanding of how faith translates into public witness.
