We talk about unity quite a bit on the show because apparently it was important to Jesus, so yeah.

He liked it a lot.

I like Scott McKnight, what he wrote here.

He's a professor and a writer and stuff.

I appreciate a lot of what he contributes.

But he was talking about unity, and I'm just quoting here.

He said, let's be even more honest.

Well, we might like to think we've smothered everyone with one tasty culture,

talking about church culture, Christian culture.

What we've actually accomplished is closer to the weird way of making and eating a salad.

We like ourselves, our way of thinking, our music, and our everything.

So we separate all the difference and difference, like E and T.S,

and scatter them across the towns and cities so that each group worships on its own. Churches for men

and not really for women, churches for the wealthy, and churches for the middle class, and churches

for the poor, churches for whites and Mexican Americans and African Americans and Asian Americans, and Indian Americans, churches for liberals and churches for the middle class and churches for the poor churches for whites and Mexican Americans and African Americans and Asian Americans and Indian Americans

churches for liberals and churches for fundamentalists churches for those who follow

Calvin or Wesley or Luther or Aquinas or Minno or those who follow Heibles, Warren,

Stanley, Hamilton, Chandler or Driscoll, Sunday morning then becomes an exercise in cultural

and spiritual segregation. And this has a colossally important impact on the Christian life itself,

exclamation point. Yeah.
