can we allow for this kind of diversity without blowing everything up? The key is to clearly determine ahead of time the things we won’t fight about and then make it crystal clear to everyone that these issues are off-limits. For instance, at North Coast everyone in leadership understands that we’re on the welcoming committee, not the programming committee, when it comes to the Lord’s return. They know that we’re apolitical as an organization. We don’t take public stands on candidates or propositions.
