A Divided World Needs a United Church

<p>The church is a place where all the wrong people join together in the name of the right person.</p><p><br></p><p>Paul’s letter to the Ephesian church reinforces this reality, and it strikes at the very heart of our struggles with unity. Without the gospel, diversity will only expose our natural tendency to prioritize ourselves over others.</p><p><br></p><p>Paul casts a vision for “a new humanity” — one that moves beyond the petty social boundaries that we’ve drawn for ourselves. In this way, the Church is meant to be a witness of God’s love in how we embrace each other, despite our differences.</p><p><br></p><p>This learning curve continues in the Church today, and it might be even more critical now.
