“Here, however, the identitarian comes up against the mystery of personality. Human beings are different: They are of different ages, different sexes, they vary according to their physical strength, their intellect, their education, their ambitions. They have different character and different kinds of memory, different dispositions. They react differently to the same treatment. All this enervates and antagonizes the identitarian. The shoemaker takes it for granted; it is a headache for the shoe manufacturer. It is natural to the governess and no mystery to parents, but it can become an insoluble problem to the teacher of a large class. Along with this goes the proclivity among large groups to give up at least part of the personality. Mass-man in a mass has the tendency to think, act, and react in synchro-mesh with the crowd, a phenomenon that might have a scientific explanation. And precisely because human identity is difficult to achieve, a poor substitute often has to be brought in. This equally unworkable substitute is equality.”

“Not every community is multi-ethnic and so not every church can or should be multi-ethnic. But, in general, it is both theologically warranted and missionally effective... to be as multi-ethnic as possible and to learn from the multi-racial global church.”

“Together We Are Humans (The Sonnet) Together we are humans, separate we are apes. Together we are life, separate we are dust. Together we are tools, separate we are weapons. Together we are a boon, separate we are a curse. Together we are power, separate we are insects. Together we are sanity, separate we are lunacy. Together we are serenity, separate we are misery. Together we are harmony, separate we are catastrophe. Together we are diversity, separate we are phobia. Together we are purity, separate we are pollution. Together we are savannah, separate we are a desert. Together we are family, separate we are desolation. Together we are to grow as beings of conscience and character, Or else our lives are futile and will fade away in time's murmur.”
