Scenario

When doing the right thing fractures a faith community

Our congregation voted to become more inclusive but the process has been brutal and now we have families leaving angry letters and others threatening to withhold donations and those of us who stay don't know how to heal from what we've done to each other. The decision felt right but the aftermath is tearing us apart.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A community learns that moral progress can exact a devastating relational cost, forcing them to grieve what was lost while building what must come.
