Look-alikes...

Our three children do not look exactly alike, although they were all conceived by the same parents.  Russ and I see the diversity within our own family as a great asset.  Although we expected  that our children would resemble us, we in no way had any expectation that they would be carbon copies of each other.  We continue to see the differences in personalities, talents, interests, and passions in a positive light.  How strange (ineffective or dysfunctional, at least) our family would be if all the children were the same!   The fact that we birthed these children is the qualifier, not their physical features.

My question:  Why do we expect all churches to look exactly alike?  The Church universal is still the Church, even though it is made up of various bodies.  Those bodies may sing different songs, wear different clothes, meet at different times, but as long as they are birthed by the same Father (God) and remain connected to the Head (Jesus), aren't they still the Church?  Would we be so arrogant as to judge fellow brothers and sisters as illegitimate simply because they don't look like us?
