> When Church is getting in the way of your relationship with God?

But doesn't this happen at some level all the time, no matter what church you're in?

Presumably then a transfer is better than a split.

What do you reckon those times are? I agree with you, but for me the splitting times would have to be incredibly serious.

I think there are times to stay and try to discuss and change things from within, and times to split.

Indeed. In fact, it looks like "a few people leaving" will be more accurate that "splitting". But I still feel gutted by it.

So they actually explicitly thought of splitting? I thought you just meant it was a possible side-effect of the disagreement. You'd have thought people would have had enough of splitting by now.

(Actually, also unloving and ungodly, if your definition of love includes trying to stick with people, and if your definition of godly includes a commitment to unity).

Misguided. But so is the non-rebellious side of our church. However, surely it's worth us all trying to stick together and argue out our problems, rather than splitting.

Yes, it's tragic but true that some people seem so resistant to change. What about your particular situation - do you think those people are unloving and ungodly, or just misguided in their zeal?
