A thoughtful piece. See what you think.
I’ve talked to a lot of young (and not so young) Christians about their disappointment in the church. Many have been hurt by the church. Many more hurt for others who have borne the brunt of the church’s injustices and failures.
Some of those I’ve talked to have been subject to criticism or suspicion because they have loved art, or music, or words, or peace, or people that the church has rejected or merely overlooked.
They have felt compassion for the outsiders spurned by the church.
