Embracing new things is a biblical concept that reminds us of God's love for doing new things and our attraction towards new experiences and opportunities.
Diversity and inclusion initiatives aim to bring diversity of thought, experience, and perspective to companies, creating a fair and equitable workplace that values contributions from diverse backgrounds, rather than lowering standards or fulfilling quotas.
Recognizing and addressing biases and prejudices that hinder fair judgment and decision-making, and seeking to see the humanity in others, is crucial in creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
Deep dives
The Importance of Embracing New Things
Embracing new things is a biblical concept that reminds us of God's love for doing new things. It is a part of being made in the image of God. This attraction to newness is evident in our desire for new beginnings, like on January 1st. Just as we serve a God who loves doing new things, we are also drawn to new experiences and opportunities.
The Beauty of Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives
Diversity and inclusion initiatives should not be seen as hiring unqualified individuals based solely on their race. These initiatives aim to bring diversity of thought, experience, and perspective to companies. They are not about lowering standards or fulfilling quotas, but rather about creating a fair and equitable workplace that values the contributions of people from diverse backgrounds.
The Pitfalls of Biases and Prejudices
It is essential to recognize and address biases and prejudices that can hinder fair judgment and decision-making. Stereotyping individuals based on race, gender, or other factors is unjust and dehumanizing. Changing our knee-jerk reactions and seeking to see the humanity in others is a necessary step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society.
The Profitability of Diversity
Diversity brings numerous benefits to organizations, including cultural exchange, different perspectives, and a larger talent pool. Embracing diversity can lead to more profound and innovative solutions to problems. Companies driven by profits will prioritize reducing waste, and diversity initiatives contribute to creating a more efficient and profitable business.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion through a Kingdom Lens
As believers, we should view diversity, equity, and inclusion through a kingdom lens. Kingdom principles emphasize justice, mercy, and inclusion. We should aim for diversity and inclusion initiatives that are rooted in these principles, avoiding corruption and prejudice. By embracing diversity and providing equal opportunities, we reflect the values of the kingdom of God.
