Scenario

When spiritual communities lose their sacred focus

Our prayer group used to feel like sanctuary but since the pastor left, we've been meeting in each other's homes and somehow without that structure we've become a complaint circle where people just vent about their lives. None of us knows how to get back to what we came for without hurting feelings.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Without external guidance, a group meant for transcendence has devolved into therapeutic venting, and no one knows how to restore the sacred without rejecting the human.
