We have this vision for our church.  To me it makes a world of difference because we are all on the same page.  It's easy to get bogged down trying to go in a thousand different directions in the church, but if we all claim a common mission, we know where we're trying to go.

How ought we be together as Christians?  How should we relate to each other?

I think we mostly all know the answers, though we drop the ball on living it out.  Not to go all Bible-quote-dropping, but I really like Jesus' formula:  If someone upsets you, go talk to them first in private. If you can't work it out, bring a friend or two.  If you still can't sort it out, bring Church elders.  After all that is done, then you can call them up for public discipline. (Matt  18:15-17)
