Diversity is more than equity and inclusion—it's about becoming whole. with Emily Plater, director of Shared Mission As followers of Jesus, we understand that diversity is not just ensuring that everyone is allowed at the table. It is more than equity. It is about becoming whole. We need one another to be who God has called us to be, to reflect the image of God that one day will be seen complete with none missing when the great multitude gathers around the throne “from every nation and tribe and people and language” (Rev 7:9, NLT). The multiethnic team contends, believes and works for this wholeness that will be realized when everyone is participating at the table, being who God has created them to be.
