My youngest brother and I do not agree on certain standards even if we agree on the principles. However, we both love and enjoy being around one another, and in general will refrain from antagonizing one another (although there has been...'intense fellowship' on occasion).
The whole issue revolves around treating people with respect, whether or not we actually respect that person.

So does this happen in you church? Does your Pastor talk about other churches from the pulpit?
