Wounded Unity – Thoughts from the Edge

Unity or uniformity. My brother Paul listed his status today as, “Suffering posttaxum depression.” We all are united in the experience of taxation. But, we are not taxes uniformly. When we think of unity in terms of following Jesus conflict often arises over uniformity. Yet, the very experience of the early followers of Jesus exposed a lack of uniformity in experience and expression. Yet, they were unified around the resurrected One. We too would do well to find unity around the resurrected One.
