To live and practice the way of love as modelled by Jesus, one step we can take is to get rid of our doctrinal statements, which divide and condemn, rather than invite and forgive.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that due to some of the feedback I receive on these posts, this chapter might be radically revised for the final edition of the book.
