layers of loyalty.

I had a great conversation with someone the other day about loyalty. They consider  themselves to be a more loyal person and so they were struggling with leaving a group of people just because the group had changed. It made them feel disloyal. 

But loyalty is layered. 

Are you loyal to a church? 
To a denomination?
To evangelicals?
To Protestantism?
To Christianity?
To the Divine? 
To Love? 

Are you loyal to an artist? 
To a type of music?
To an era? 
To listening? 

I think many of us spend our time focusing on the surface loyalty - and that will always come back to bite us. What's the deep loyalty, the one that takes all kinds of forms and shapes... that actually matters? And is actually worth being loyal too?
