Unity in Diversity

We’ve just celebrated Pentecost Sunday and I am reminded of the kind of unity that the Holy Spirit brings in our relationships, as we open ourselves to His work in our hearts. The distinctive mark of the Holy Spirit is NOT oppressive unity, NOR conflictual diversity, but Unity in Diversity.
