Thinking of joining a club? Use due diligence to understand the club's rules. You may have cause to regret not doing so when an issue arises. Just as important is understanding who are the guardians of the rules and how they apply them. Of course you may discover the rules do not permit you to join or participate as much as you might wish.
Churches have rules, regulations, dogmas doctrines, customs, traditions, processes and procedures all aimed at directing, circumscribing, promoting or discouraging behaviour. There has to be order and discipline. All legalistic and introspective.
Jesus had a different approach: Love God, love all and follow him.
