Diversity

Our God loves diversity. Think of all the different people around the world, our races and nationalities, customs, cultures, and languages. Think of the diversity of plants and animals, think of the diversity in seasons, and the topography of the earth. God truly loves diversity and he uses it to show the beauty of his Truth, which is love and life in him.

God finds pleasure in our diversity as individuals. Each one of us is given unique gifts and talents that we are called to use for good in the world. Our diversity brings about a multitude of
ways to come to know him, live by his Word, and give him thanks and praise. Our diversity, and the
diversity of all creation, is something to be celebrated.

God also enjoys diversity in the way he calls people to himself. Everything is an entry-point to
come to knowledge of him. He uses books, nature, music, people, art, encounters with mystery –
everything! God loves diversity but he calls all people to unity in Jesus Christ.
