Scripture

Key Concepts

• The Church has a complementary unity and diversity because she is made up of people from various countries and cultures with different gifts, personalities, and experiences, who are all bonded by a common faith.
• The Church accepts each of us and provides a place where we can be uniquely ourselves and at the same time, radically united to every person despite our differences. In turn, we are asked to accept and trust the wisdom of Church in her teachings.
• Diversity is divisive without unity and unity is destructive when the uniqueness of each person is not respected. True unity comes from an understanding that God loves us, communicates with us, and works through each person
