When will the people see the church, not as she "is" in the world, but as she "is" in reality? When you love a church, you will to see her beauties, not her blemishes.
If a congregation's failures are too much to live with, then get a divorce. But please don't drag her name through the mud on your way to greener pasture.
I have taken your wisdom to heart on this issue though I will say when one has a conviction of something that is done wrong in worship it is impossible to not see the blemish especially in a church that claims to hold to our confession of faith. This is where love covers a multitude of sin which includes my sin which many of the saints at our church see in me.
