This week’s Wednesday morning chapel service with Father Stephen was all about working with others even if they come from a different back ground or have a different point of view. He elaborates on the fact that in the Old Testament God put together a group of twelve men all from different backgrounds to deliver his message to the world. He also refers to how Abraham Lincoln did a similar act with his presidential cabinet by putting some of his largest political rivals in a group that gave him advice on the most important topics.
The point of this was to emphasize on the fact that we should not base our agreement or disagreement towards ideas and people due to a difference in view or different background of the deliverer. Rather, we should be open-minded to all ideas without bias no matter who presents it. It sticks to the Jesus’ teachings on human equality, “All men are created equal.”
Whether one is Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, or Hindu, human equality is unable to be ignored.
