God, i just wished we Christians were more FRANK and honest with each other!
there are ignored conflicts and issues wherever there are people,...but moreso in church simply because we're told to keep the bond of peace and unity. it's in the bible that we are to be united. is that superficial or what? sure, small things are easy to forgive but they still have to be somewhat....acknowledged or at least addressed so they don't accumulate and snowball. Just how far should people go in ignoring a potential conflict or problem? i definitely would not prefer the ignoring approach.
the crux and the truth of one's character will be revealed when one is in crisis, alone/on your own. Will you stick to doing wat's good, right and be true to God/loving your neighbour? and when no one's looking, would we be the same person as what we are when the spotlight's on us? (more for pple in leadership/upfront) hm........

Totally agree wif u.I am one who always believe that if any1 "buay song" any1, it should be settled.In my humble opinion, the back alley is always a nice place to settle any problem. But of course in the church setting, you might wanna to use the conference room or something. Just remember to confess your sin to a priest or something after u settle with the @$&$#&^&
i think its a misconception that not talking things out= keeping peace and unity. personally, i think as beleivers grow in maturity, which includes ability to accept criticisms/ other ppl's weaknesses and their own, ability to settle misunderstandings peacably etc den wld real peace and unity be present!
