Do you know the difference between unity and uniformity?

There is a reason why the analogy of a body is used in connection with The Church, we are meant to be different from each other yet still connected to one another. We are meant to each have our individual part to play in the same symphony. God created us uniquely different from each other yet somewhere along the way we made uniformity the goal instead of unity. Unity leaves room for diversity in relationship where uniformity demands sameness in exchange for belonging. Let us be people of unity and release the urge to find comfort in uniformity.
