Merging. When in my day job, developing software and websites, you get two developers working on the same parts of the system, you have to merge what one does with what the other does. Likewise, outside of my day job, I am having to be careful in considering church merging. When God puts straight a doctrine that has gone wrong, we end up with strands of church doctrine - a corrected one and the original strands and maybe strands which have been corrected in other ways too. Each might have its own hymns sung in churches, books written, preachers trained. Merging all these is quite a challenge. Yet it has to be done, even if it takes many years. Faith requires it. Truthful honesty requires it. It seems God requires it. I must try learning the hymns and which ones match the corrected doctrines.
