The challenge of disagreement
I've been attending a small church run by some old friends of mine, and I enjoy being able to see them every week. More and more, I find that I disagree with the theological positions of this church, yet I still want to go there. Part of it is because of the people I like, but another part of it is that I find it far more intellectually challenging to attend a church where I disagree and where I am motivated to go look things up and research the basis for my own positions, instead of attending somewhere safe and boring that simply reinforces what I already believe. Does this make sense to anyone else?
