Balancing Resources

There is misinformation being spread by some to actively recruit churches to leave our denomination. Much of it consists of either strawman arguments or exaggerated, extreme examples that do not represent the whole.

I have nothing against those that are leaving. I just believe in telling the truth, and that laity deserve to have balanced and accurate information.

I offer these balancing resources.
