Why can’t we celebrate the diverse nature of our spiritual paths? We are coming together, slowly, but I believe, surely.

I guess the answer was given by Tom Wright. Some people are assuming that our differences are concerning things that are not of primary importance.
There’s two things wrong with this approach. (1) Never assume anything. (2) Who says they are not of primary importance?
