You know, if there's one thing that I have learned during my six years at Christianity

today, it's that Christian rarely agree on everything, or anything, but mostly everything.

Further, the closer you think you are to find an agreement and consensus among Christians

can find what some or what looks to some as even more nuance and others splitting hairs.

So, for instance, take an issue like communion.

On the one hand, I can't think of a single Christian who doesn't believe that participating in communion

is a key part of what it means to practice one's day.

But for some Christians, this is the focal point

of weekly gatherings. Others can go months without partaking. For some, using whatever food and drink

is around the house, counts as the body and blood of Christ. Others need their priests to have blessed

with physical products. And of course, COVID-19's interruption of church services has introduced

other questions about digital versus physical options.

For someone like me, who not surprisingly works at a place like CT that seeks a bigger tent approach,

this level of theological detail and precision can at times be mind-boggling.

Here at CT, we really want Christians to better connect with each other and work with each other

across real theological diversity.

And this is something that's not necessarily in the church's natural skill set.

One recent look at how the church might do better is outlined in Gavin Ortland's new book,

Finding the Right Hills to Dion, the case for theological triage, which asks when doctrine

should divide us and when unity should prevail.
