When spiritual communities split over interfaith practice approaches

Our meditation group has been studying the mystical dimensions of Sikhism, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism, but we're fracturing over whether these traditions are compatible enough to practice together or if we're being disrespectful to each by treating them as interchangeable wisdom sources. Some members want to focus on one tradition to go deeper, others insist the comparative approach is exactly what modern spirituality needs, and our weekly gatherings have become tense debates instead of shared contemplation.
