@hijabicatgirl i think unity is something Islam is uniquely good at. of course there are different cultures’ variations on it, but muslims pray together at the same times (relative to sun) looking to the same place. hajj is an immensely unifying practice. muslims from every corner have to bump into each other.

modern protestant hyperfragmentation is a bit of an anomaly historically for several reasons, but even then islam’s unity is kind of just not how we operate. christianity is full of all sorts of rites and uses and historical languages and new traditions being made and shared. it is about what is reverent and loving in a particular cultural context.

i will say, it is my belief that where there is a calling out to the divine and to love, there too will heaven find itself.

i have very strong opinions on theology. it is deeply important to me. it is the key in which my heart sings, but it is not correctness of thought that saves. it is taking God’s hand and the hunger that leads us in it.
