All together different : upholding the church's unity while honoring our individual identities / J. Brian Tucker and John Koessler.
Our attempts to foster church unity typically don't turn out the way we'd hoped. Why? Because we fail to understand how community and identity interact. People form groups; it's part of what it means to be human. Once formed, groups come into conflict with each other- even within the church. It's not a question of if, but how. Simply focusing on our commonalities isn't enough. Trying to stop people from forming groups won't work either. We need to get to the heart of the issue: identity. Drawing from Scripture and social identity theory, All Together Different will teach you what moves people from "us vs. them" to "we together," while maintaining diverse individual and group identities. Whether you're dealing with racial tensions, gender divides, generational gaps, or cultural preferences, you'll learn how to promote unity and navigate conflict for the glory of God.
