A body only needs one heart, one lung, one kidney, ect . . . to function. If a body had 4 brains but NO heart, it would "very smart" but also "very dead"! Diversity is the key to unity, proper function and LIFE in any community/organization. We all need each other for common good. To this end, we MUST allow "parts" of the whole, the freedom to do what he/she was designed by God to do. Our differences, combined, create harmony.
Control seems to be a huge issue. Often times, the "controlling body" strips it's members the freedom "to be different"! This, I would say, goes against God's plan for us to authentically be the people He created us to be . . . using gifts uniquely given each one of us!
No diversity . . . no unity (one cannot live without the other), no proper function (limited to MAN MADE "rules") and NO LIFE (self explanatory)!
Thankful God made my body with it's "different" organs, working together for my common good. In it, I live and move and am called to "BE ME"! Diversity!
Love to you.
