I readily agree with many of the other posts … the simple fact of the matter is the church neither has the time or energy to concern itself with what members write unless it is untruthful and an overt attack on the church. Beyond the attack though there are ALWAYS underlying issues that drive the attack and ultimately are the reason for any discipline.
If your intent is to provoke you will provoke. Whereas if your intent is to tell a story embodied with truth based in historical reality you will entertain, perhaps offend and most certainly be left alone.
I do not view church authority as even interested in controlling or restricting artistic expression. Men in leadership are just like you … driven by the same desires and appetites and ambition. Write Mike –and worry less about the warts and more about the art!
