Scenario

When faith communities split between contemplation and action

Our prayer group has been meeting for eight years and lately half of us want to go deeper into contemplative practice while the other half wants to focus on social action and we can't seem to find a way forward that honors both callings. The tension is starting to affect our friendships outside of the group.
