Following Christ is not about joining a look-alike contest; it is finding out the joy of discovering our oneness in Christ in spite of our many differences. This is the challenge of the day.
Words such as this are very liberating. Groups seem to want to make sure everyone else is like them. Make sure we all listen to the same music, read the same books, educate our kids the same way, have the same view on eschotology, and the rest. God is bigger than these and He wants our focus on Jesus. He's the great uniter. As a friend of mine says "keep the main thing, the main thing".
