Are all "Dangling Participles" wrong?
Solution 1:
Writers, especially in fiction, will always seek to bend or break grammar rules. As your sources mention, there are plenty of examples of dangling participles in classic and famous literature.
That said, your primary goal as a writer should always be clarity. Dangling participles are bound to create confusion for some, if not all, of your readers.
Whenever possible, a participle should have a clear subject that it is describing. In your example sentence, the reader doesn't know who or what is stepping inside the church. It could and should be revised to be more precise.
