Diversity

Commentary by Peter Shepherd
Diversity
“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.” ~ Maya Angelou
Our differences are what make the world an interesting place to be.
“We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.” ~ Max de Pree
We’re a body with genes; but more than that, we’re our upbringing, education, environment and circumstances; but more than that, we’re a consciousness with special aptitudes and qualities; but more than that, we’re each a unique spark of God.
Diversity
“In the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” ~ John F. Kennedy
Someone said, “Who is wise? One who learns from all people.”
“When I see you through my eyes, I think that we are different. When I see you through my heart, I know that we are the same.” ~ Doe Zantamata
As Max de Pree says, “We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.”
“United we stand, divided we fall.” ~ Aesop
“Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up,” says Jesse Jackson. Diversity and inclusion are about giving value to every human being, no matter our differences. As Verna Myers says, “Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance.”

Lessons from Skid Row ~ by Dr. Alan R. Zimmerman

This last week I had the opportunity to experience something very powerful. Instead of simply hearing about or reading about the poor or the homeless, I spent a week with them in the poorest sections and skid row sections of Los Angeles.
