Build a theological framework before addressing controversial issues.
Create an expectation within the congregation that these discussions fit within the church's overall mission.
This prevents conversations from feeling like isolated political statements.
Establish a foundation that allows for open dialogue without causing disruption or surprise.
Doing so will help mitigate negative reactions and maintain unity.
