Revd Clare Hooper discusses how God's plan from beginning of time was for a diverse family, made in the living image of God. This is reaffirmed when the Holy Spirit fell upon the people of God in Acts 2 and finally the image in Rev 7 of God's people around his throne - God's gift of life is for all mankind, every tongue, tribe and nation. We need to take hold of God's intention and make it a reality within our own local church community.
