Unity, Diversity, and the Search for the Common Good

A service drawn from the Touchstones Project: The words of Margaret Mead, Audre Lorde, and Martin Ashton lead off a chorus of voices including those from our Fellowship, that invite us into stories of growth, courage, pain, redemption and reconciliation.
“If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric – one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.” –Margaret Mead
“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.” –Audre Lorde
“If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.” –Marvin Ashton
