"In John 4, Jesus went through Samaria, and not just because this was the road less traveled. Jesus went to meet a woman of ill-repute, and proceeded to break all the social conventions of gender, ethnicity, religion and status in order to commission her as the first missionary. The social norms that didn’t reflect the Kingdom of God were simply irrelevant to Jesus.
The striking difference that has set Millennials apart from previous generations is that they expect diversity. Their ability to thrive in diverse communities without the baggage from other generations can be a huge gift to the Church and lead us to the picture in Revelation 7 of every tribe, tongue and nation worshipping together."
