This is soooo important. It has helped me make sense of why do many churches are mono-chrome. Two immediate links i made. 1. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks beautiful little book, The Dignity of Difference. God does not want or need us to look and be the same 2. The modality of “Open Space Technology” and its huge capacity for embracing and celebrating diversity in Shalom. As Harrison Owen (the originator of OST, and an Episcopal Priest), “wherever space is opened, peace breaks out”. Christological totalitarianism is another word for shutting down space and avoiding the natural human anxieties around difference.

No matter where you come from this is gold, and points to the way forward. Thank you all.
