When church splits divide families

Our church split over the new pastor's progressive theology and now my family is divided down the middle with some staying and some leaving and holiday dinners have become minefields. We're letting church politics destroy relationships that matter more than any doctrine but no one knows how to step back from the positions we've taken.
