Some congregations are better than others, but it doesn’t seem to matter where you go, there is always church politics. Aka there is always a person who deems something “unnecessary”, and is rather outspoken about this. For me, this is something that I seem to often come head-to-head with, no matter how much I endeavour to avoid it. It is frustrating! And I wonder how many people have left the church over it. Over some piddly difference, that means diddly squat, but someone deems is absolutely necessary to point out and against over and over again.
