It seems our society is growing ever increasingly divided. We are divided red and blue, progressive and conservative, straight and LGBTQIA, rich and poor, native and non-native. We are divided by our gender, our gender identity, and our sexual preference. We are divided by race. We are simply divided, and it seems like it’s growing worse, every day. I don’t know if should comfort us, or frighten us, to know that the author of Ephesians would tell us this: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
