Whether right or wrong, it is my belief that Christian colleges place their emphasis not on that which divides us, but on the substance that binds us together. That commonality is the gospel of Jesus Christ. He commanded us to love one another–to set aside our differences and to care for “the least of these” among us. It is our unity, not our diversity, that deserves our allegiance. James C. Dobson
About This Quote
