Picture: Counsel #9 — Equity And Equality In The WorkplaceCSI 76.1

Picture a world where inequity dissolves and racial and gender discrimination just don’t exist. Yet, despite our technological advancements, such a world remains elusive. In the realm of workplaces, where dreams meet reality, prejudice should have no place.^{[113]https://www.bridgespan.org/insights/integrate-diversity-equity-inclusion} Christ's teachings, a beacon of inclusivity, beckon us. His love erases the divisions that mar our humanity. Discrimination's echoes clash with His message of equality. The workplace, a melting pot of diverse talents, should mirror Christ's intent - where the hues of our identity blend harmoniously. Imagine institutions that value skills over skin tones and abilities over gender. As we tread through these corridors, let's carry Christ's torch. It's a torch that illuminates pathways to diversity, demolishes discriminatory barriers, and crafts an atmosphere where equity thrives.CSI 76.2
