It’s not just that we all come from and share a single divine light. It’s also that our differences are expressions of that one light. Walking this fine line can move us from tolerating our differences to celebrating them. When tolerance is our goal, we prevent ourselves from releasing something far more powerful—a model of pluralism that sees our differences as beautiful and does not feel threatened by them. Until and unless we are able to embrace such a model, we’ll remain unable to tap into the richness of our humanity.
