Babel, Moana, and Jesus

Does difference always lead to division?

Since Babel, the world’s answer has been: yes.

And since difference is an inescapable part of life, this answer means the world always tries to erase difference, either through violence or a forced homogeneity.

But difference is part of God’s plan, and difference is no threat to unity in Christ.
