Scenario

When faith communities face changes that threaten intimacy

Our small worship group has been meeting for five years and now one couple wants to invite their teenage kids and another member thinks it will completely change the intimate dynamic we've built. We're all feeling protective of something precious but we can't agree on what we're protecting it from.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The impulse to preserve sacred intimacy can conflict with the call to welcome and grow, forcing choices about what kind of container we want to be.
