Unity in Diversity

Commentary

Unity in Diversity

Can a church be unified and diverse at the same time? In a global world like ours, where people exchange ideas and culture easier than ever, the better question may be “How can a church survive without unity and diversity?” Far from a contradiction, the two complement each other, like sides of a coin. The face of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is changing. Today that face reflects every race and culture and has more color, more diversity, than ever before.
