We must constantly define the church in our pluralistic society. Pluralism is a philosophy that allows for a wide diversity of viewpoints and doctrines to co-exist within a single body. It is an attempt to accommodate conflicting viewpoints and keep it peaceful. Peace and unity are wonderful. But they are not the primary value, or only focus. People often strive to keep the church visibly united at all costs. The tragic price tag for that historically has been the loss of meaning and purity in Christ’s church.
