So many of us have learned that, in spiritual community, disagreement is a problem. We're supposed to be positive. Be loving. Anything else is ego. But what if complete agreement is not actually what love requires? In this Sunday Gathering sermon, we share a message called "Rethinking Disagreement in Spiritual Community," where we explore a powerful question: Is disagreement really unspiritual—or have we misunderstood what love looks like when something isn't right? If you've ever felt the tension between being loving and being honest, this message is for you.

Want to join us for a Sunday Gathering? Access is included with a Course Companions membership.

3Chapter 9, Section III The Correction of Errors: 2 When you correct a brother, you are telling him he is wrong. ²He may be making no sense at the time, and it is certain that if he is speaking from the ego, he will be making no sense. ³But your task is still to tell him he is right. ⁴You do not tell him this verbally if he is speaking foolishly, because he needs correction at another level, since his error is at another level. ⁵He is still right, because he is a Son of God. ⁶His ego is always wrong, no matter what it says or does. [CE T-9.III.2])
