SOPs?

So tonight I came home and just wanted to relax a bit, drink a beer, and go to bed early.  But I have some pretty strong emotions over tonight's happenings.  I didn't really want my first post back to be negative so I'll try and... well, you know....

Coming from 'corporate America' and having left a job where there were norms, I find it difficult sometimes when I encounter life outside of them.  Some might call them SOPs or standard operating procedures.  Such things as kindness and consideration of other's feelings, avoiding demeaning or argumentatives tones, etc. etc. are just a few things that come to mind when I think about how we treated each other back in cube life.  It wasn't even the 'Christian way' but moreso the human way.

So what I encountered tonight, within the walls of the church, made my heart sick.  And what is more-- the fact that we/I let it go on and on.  Supposedly "it's been dealt with" and I say well obviously "it" hasn't because "it" is still continuing.  If this was happening in a secular workplace, the person would have long been fired.  But is that the answer?  To release them from their service?  We are called to love and so that means we care about this person's life more than we care about the damage they are doing (to others) and to the team as a whole?

Wow, what a tightrope!
