Good Intentions Gone Wrong… “Everyone’s Favorite Heresies”
Faith is often described through three frameworks: believing, behaving, and belonging. At EBPC, we naturally lean into belonging—the relational, incarnational spirituality that shapes 21st‑century Christian life.
This January, we turn our attention to another of the “B’s”: believing. Together we’ll explore some of Christianity’s most infamous theological missteps—ideas that began as sincere attempts to be faithful, yet ultimately led the Church astray. These were good intentions gone wrong, and they still have something to teach us.
Why revisit ancient controversies?
Because the questions that shaped early Christianity are still our questions. What we reject often clarifies what we affirm. And when we approach our theological past with curiosity and humility, we discover that even heresies illuminate the boundaries of a life‑giving faith.
