M,
It’s funny that you bring up the church search because I had a conversation about this very thing yesterday. I went to services at the Bahai center again and had lunch with a new friend afterwards.
She feels much like you do. That the benefits of going to a place of worship on a regular basis and being part of a church community outweigh the discomfort that comes when you disagree with parts of the message. That makes a lot of sense to me.
My problem is that I didn’t grow up going to church on a regular basis so it’s easy for me to just stay home on Sunday mornings. As soon as a new place of worship disappoints even a little bit, I stop going.
I may be wise to do like you and lower my expectations about the less important specifics so that I can beneft from the bigger rewards.
