Takeaways

Transparency and clarity are essential in church communities, particularly when it comes to issues like LGBTQ inclusion.
Churches should clearly communicate their theological stance and actively work towards creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
The concept of covenantal relationships, where individuals are bound together in a covenant of community, allows for diversity of theology while maintaining a sense of unity.
Churches should prioritize open and honest conversations, embracing the mystery and wonder of God rather than trying to control or limit understanding.
Pastors should focus on meeting the spiritual needs of their community and creating spaces for diverse spiritual exploration and community. Shifting from winning people to walking with them allows for a more authentic and compassionate approach to relationships.
Questioning and letting go of beliefs, such as eternal conscious torment, can lead to a deeper understanding of God's love and grace.
Creating spaces of love and service, like the Open Table Collective, allows for the inclusion and support of diverse individuals and communities.
Living in liminal spaces, embracing change and uncertainty, can lead to personal growth and a deeper connection with the divine.
Practicing spiritual disciplines, such as prayer and silence, can help cultivate awareness of God's presence in everyday life.
