Sabine Dressler-Kromminga began her keynote address to the WCRC Council by getting the organist to play a series of three notes to try to get people to have a deeper understanding of unity, uniqueness and diversity. The three notes built upon one another, the first deeper note being the unity tone the others gradually adding both depth and light to the expression of unity.
Given the strong place of music at this Council meeting using a musical idea to begin her reflections was quite inspired. The other idea she brought into reflections on unity that really intrigued me was "justicia connectiva" - connecting justice and how this can help us develop our idea of unity in diversity.
You can read more about the keynote addresses here.
We hope gradually to be able to put all of the speeches online for you to be able to read in various langauges. A great thing about the keynote session is that two addresses were given in English, one in Spanish and one in German. A sign of the unity in diversity that was the theme.
