Unity and The Trinity

Finishing up a book i've been reading for the past few months. Here are a few words from Madeline L'Engle's Penguins and Golden Calves:

"It is a small planet indeed, and we no longer have room for us and them, as our various terrible ethnic wars are showing us. We are more like the Hutus and the Tutsis than we realize. We have a lot to learn before we can understand that all of us are indeed brothers and sisters and that we have to live together, with all our differences." (207)

"The Trinity proclaims a unity that in this fragmented world we desperately need. We are mortals who are male and female, and we need to know each other, love each other. The world gets daily more perilous. Our cities spawn crime. Terrorists are around every corner. Random acts of violence increase." (p. 215)
