It should be noted that this post is written in the words of guest-blogger Sarah Walker Cleaveland, as she said “I have an idea for your blog” while she was half-asleep. It seemed like a good idea at the time – we’ll let you be the judge now.
I think you should use your influence to convince the internets that handshakes are part of the 1.0 world, very “modern” if you will.
This piece is part of an on-going blog series called Plurality 2.0 (watch video here). Full schedule of guest authors throughout April and May is available here.
Julie Clawson is a writer, mother, and former pastor who currently lives in Austin, TX. She is the author of the forthcoming Everyday Justice (IVP). She blogs at julieclawson.com and moderates the Emerging Women and Emerging Parents blogs.
I like pluralism. I like learning from and engaging with all sorts of different ideas and cultures. I have a hard time with people who hide their head in the sand and pretend the outside world doesn’t exist. You know, the people who won’t let their kids take martial arts classes because they are afraid of the “Asian” influences. Or the people who think doing yoga = worshipping Satan. Or those who think it is too cosmopolitan and liberal (and therefore suspect) to eat Sushi or Indian food. We live in a diverse and pluralistic world, and I firmly believe that engaging with other ideas and cultures (even in the simplistic ways mentioned above) can help us grow and develop as people. I don’t like the practice of rejecting (or trying to alter) other ideas or cultures simply because they are other.
