Diversity is both a gift and a challenge because embracing difference is incredibly difficult. We need the continual presence and power of the Spirit to unify our diversity. The Spirit’s Christ-centering power empowers us to divest ourselves again and again of any power that hoards resources and opportunities and devalues, disregards, and disadvantages others. It also challenges us to embrace disagreement and difference as a gift of the Spirit.
