First Thoughts: Ever since the church began, there has been an ongoing struggle with the question of how the faithful should interact with the world. Some groups have interpreted the scripture to believe that the church should separate from the world as much as possible -- creating closed communities and special clothes to set them apart. Other groups have so minimized the difference between the church and the world that a bystander probably couldn't even tell the difference.
