The problem I see with churches that split and those that have difficulties (esp those that are caught in a rut) is that those in the church are quick to say that it's either the institution's fault or someone else's fault. They want to cast the blame somewhere else, when, in reality, they are part of the problem. It takes real humility to look at oneself and say "I'm the problem" or "I'm part of the problem" and to change to be more like Christ. Right on, Mary.

This is a hard place to be, thinking about where "we" ought to be as a church, because then people have the tendency to point fingers and place blame. You (and Tozer!) raise some good points here.
