There’s a silence in
the podcast at 34 minutes where the battery had to be changed in the
microphone.
Bible Verses
Unity and Diversity in the Body
Just as a body,
though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with
Christ. For we were all baptized by one
Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we
were all given the one Spirit to drink.
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
Now if the foot
should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would
not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not
an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being
part of the body. If the whole body were
an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear,
where would the sense of smell be? But
in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he
wanted them to be. If they were all one
part, where would the body be? As it is,
there are many parts, but one body.
The eye cannot say
to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t
need you!”
On the contrary,
those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts
that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are
treated with special modesty, while our
presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving
greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division
in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with
it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

A culture of honour is created as a
community of people learns to discern and receive people in their God-given
identities. Danny Silk
