Scripture
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. —1 Corinthians 1:10

Wisdom
What has been an ancient spiritual truth is now increasingly verified by science: We are all indivisibly part of one another. We share a common ancestry with everyone and everything alive on earth. The air we breathe contains atoms that have passed through the lungs of ancestors long dead. Our bodies are composed of the same elements created deep inside the furnaces of long-dead stars. We can look upon the face of anyone or anything around us and say—as a moral declaration and a spiritual, cosmological, and biological fact: You are a part of me I do not yet know. —Valarie Kaur, See No Stranger

Prayer
Let us see the unity that already knits us together. Let us be formed by this indivisibility. Let us breathe deep of this declaration that I am part of this vast interwoven planet. Amen. —The Reverend Dr. Katie Snipes Lancaster
