Faith Inspires our Commitment to Diversity
Diversity holds profound spiritual significance because it reflects the biblical teaching that every person is created in the image of God, affirming the inherent dignity and worth of all humanity. In the Beloved Community there is no place for hierarchies based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, social identity, or economic status.
As we strive to answer God's call to the ministry of reconciliation, we humbly seek forgiveness, restoration, and commit to accountability. Instead of denying or erasing the uniqueness woven into Creation, we are called to celebrate this diversity, recognizing it as essential to showing God’s strength.
