When your faith community faces an identity crisis that could destroy it

Our church is in crisis because half the congregation wants to fully embrace progressive values and the other half feels like we're abandoning core principles, and we're scheduled to vote on some major policy changes next month but nobody wants to talk about the real fear that we might not survive this as a community. The people I've worshipped with for twenty years are becoming strangers to each other.
