access to all sorts of opinions and beliefs. Instead of leading to us

all being more open-minded and well-rounded, most of us have retreated

to our echo chambers. We’ve surrounded ourselves, in real life or

through our media consumption, with voices that reinforce our own

opinions and beliefs. This leaves us ill-suited to handle disagreements

well. Yet, the early church was full of tension and disagreements. In

fact, Paul thinks that diversity of opinion is to be a feature, not a

bug in the body of Christ. In polarizing times, it takes practice to

live well in the midst of tension.
