which preaches mutual crosscultural interdependence, was designed to rescue us from homogeneity and remind us of our truest identity—as diverse people united in Christ.
I think she should exposit a bit from scripture if she’s going to speak about what scripture says. She assumes the reader will not contest this point, but because of the vocabulary she drops here, it leaves questions in my mind about what she means versus what scripture means and whether they are congruent.
I feel like this statement is the root of her belief of what God wants for the body of Christ and therefore needs exposition. Questions that arise for me: Is homogeneity really an evil which God is trying to help us avoid? It seems that scripture preaches right relatedness (vertical and horizontal) and freedom from sin. Homogeneity in a group may show a lack of right relatedness or it may just represent the make up of the local community. Or some other innocent issue.
