How should Christians behave in today's polarized political environment? How do we offer love and respect to another Christian with whom we strongly disagree about their view on LGBTQ issues in the church? What should I do if my opinion on LGBTQ issues is different than my pastor's or the church? What will be the long-term effects of the Traditional Plan on the membership of the United Methodist Church?
Help! My Church is Leaving Me, was completed shortly after the Special 2019 General Conference of the United Methodist Church. It teaches spiritual discernment, listening skills, and small group process while encouraging the differing sides of the issue to rediscover their unity in Christ. Designed to be understood by laity, the book recounts how we got here, what we value, and how each local church's decisions about this social issue impacts their ongoing mission and ministry. It also addresses the more advanced subject of what to do next if we are not comfortable with where the denomination is heading.

There are times when taking actions before you are ready leads to tragedy. Leaders must be willing to hear the issue from both sides and provide a safe space for serious group reflection where each person's thoughts are valued.
