Just When You Think It's Safe To Worship...

[wlotus]

I went to church to be inspired and ended up annoyed. If the church continues to be held hostage by a small but vocal minority who will go to the media and the courts to overturn the democratic process of the church, I will do what they should have done: leave. I don't have the patience for this foolishness. It's bad enough to see the democratic process hijacked in this country, but to experience it in church is beyond the pale.

I want spiritual community, but at what cost?

Wasn't this a Sunday morning service you went to? I know that politics in churches is rampant, but I'd think that folks could just let a service go on as it's supposed to.
I'm ssorry this has been so unpleasant for you. I know nothing of it from experience, but my husband has told me all about church politics. He know longer attends church, for that, as well as other reasons.

The Sunday service went unhindered. What annoyed me was discovering (once I got there) Dr. Braxton had submitted his resignation. I suspected it was because of that small group of vehement dissenters nagging at him since the day he arrived, and once I got home I was able to search the internet and find the article I linked to.
