I am so discouraged by the hatred and animosity that exists within COTN circles. About 8-9 years ago I was as hopeful as I have ever been for the COTN in North America. Now I am as pessimistic as I have ever been. The continual efforts to "purge" the church of progressive clergy, or really anyone who will challenge the MAGA strongholds and fundamentalism, are so disheartening. On the other end, have there been any witch hunts against those who are "too conservative"?
