zdad – in many cases you are correct. To turn away people who are doing things differently runs the risk of turning them away. But in this case you are very wrong because the shul is participating in different things that are absolutely against torah. Period. when a shul decides they will allow someone to wear a baseball hat on Shabbos instead of a kippa, that is not the same as this and for someone to attend such a shul because they like the davening, is to be just too liberal, open and accepting. there is a point where we do have to stand up for Halacha and not just embrace everyone around us. To do that, would be to stand for nothing.
