Thomas Bergen returned for the 2nd part of his reflection on Christian communities. God has given the Church a diversity of gifts to build the unified body of Christ. The Apostle Paul's paradox of keeping the unity of Spirit while seeking the unity of Faith is consistent with his advice in other epistles calling for churches to grow in love for each other. Jean Vanier's L'Arche is an inspiring demonstration of how love grows when we see ourselves in others, face our vulnerabilities, and share our histories. Are we a community growing in love as we  try to follow Jesus together? [KH]
