Every church has topics they would prefer to avoid discussing. Even if the congregation gets shifty and uncomfortable, some things are too important to be locked in the proverbial closet. From sex to the Bible verses most Christians would prefer to forget exist, church leaders are too willing to sweep certain issues under the rug. Unfortunately, such things rarely stay buried. Instead, the entire congregation ends up thinking and wondering about those issues but has no one to talk to about them. Drag the issues into the light and confront them before they begin to cause very real problems.
