Too Ecumenical?

Recently we as a congregation of the church of Christ have found it beneficial to visit the buildings of people who we believe teach religious error. We are not corrupted by visiting their buildings or by associating with them. At least some of us know them well enough to ask about visiting their buildings. Why don't we ask them over for a picnic on a Saturday afternoon? Why don't we have a singing and invite them to join us? Both groups consider themselves disciples of Jesus so why do we avoid them, and they us, until we want to evaluate their construction design skills? If we were in a foreign country we might not be so particular as to the religious practices of others who speak our language before deciding to associate with them or avoid them.
