Really right or wrong?

I've written previously that everything in church isn't always are right and wrong (no matter how much we may say it is!).
Sometimes it's about perspective. From our viewpoint an activity is wrong.

Sometimes it's about context. When viewing something from our specific setting solely, we determine an idea won't work.

Sometimes it's about balance. A ministry may not be "wrong," just too heavily slanted towards one side of the theological spectrum. We judge an activity for what it lacks, not what the positive things it does bring to the table.

Trouble is, we spring straight to right/wrong and unhelpfully skim over the surrounding factors...
