Thanks for the input, Joseph. I think this issue would somehow be easier if the two denominations in question were remotely similar theologically and politically, and just differed in worship style.. but in my case, all three factors are quite different. I'm willing to sacrifice the way I experience God (worship style) by moving out of my comfort zone, but to expose myself to a theology or political message that I find repugnant is another matter (i.e. issues regarding homosexuality, women in leadership roles, etc. etc..) I'm very appreciative of this dialogue though.. keep it coming!

We could worship separately, but we have children involved... so schlepping them from one church to another could become problematic. My problem is that, as a progressive Christian, I find the theology and politics of the Christian right to be intolerable....

Anyone have any thoughts on how one can manage differences in theology/worship preferences in relationships (ex. one partner is a conservative Christian and prefers a more conservative denomination, while the other prefers a more liberal/progressive denomination) ?
