Diversity is a gift
(published )
Diversity, including theological diversity, is a gift to the people of God, so long as we allow ourselves to see it for the gracious means of multifaceted revelation that it is. It is only when we let our fears control us that diversity appears as a threat, driving us to demand uniformity even though it will cost us our unity. But in love there is no fear, and so in love there is unity, there is trust, and there is joy.
