Value: Spiritual Living as
Diversity and Inclusivity
We
value, embrace and celebrate the individual uniqueness and contribution of all
people as they express through differences of gender, ethnicity, culture,
history, experience, talents and sexual orientation. We include representatives
from all our organizational constituencies in leadership, sacred service and
decision-making.
How else can we embrace Oneness if not with acceptance, respect, and the
understanding that each individual is a unique expression of one creative
power? Individual differences include race, sexual orientation, gender, beliefs,
politics and much more. And celebrating diversity means allowing and welcoming
it with an affirmative attitude.
This month’s quotes from Ernest Holmes guide us to the source of
diversity, and invite us to contemplate the Oneness at the root of everything.

Since everything is an individualization of the
Universal, every spark is alike in that it is divine. It is made of the same
Cosmic stuff, but no two sparks are identical. The process in Nature is the
multiplication of an infinite variation of unified identities, no one of which
is identical with the other, even though each and all are in the same field.
Ernest Holmes
