Scenario

When church communities fracture over pastoral transitions

Our small church has been like family for twenty years, but our beloved pastor is retiring and the search committee is split between someone who will 'preserve tradition' and someone who will 'embrace change' and suddenly people are taking sides like it's war. What breaks my heart is that we're arguing about the future of love itself while forgetting how to love each other.

More people experience this than they realize.
