This piece reminded me of how division will always exist. One group of people will always be able to find fault in another in order to prove its own superiority, whether that “fault” is skin color, social status, or cultural difference. This division is ultimately a result of a blindness to God’s inclusive love. As one group claims its own superiority it is simply hiding the fact that they are in the same boat as everyone else – all are sinners in need of salvation. There are definitely differences between the Irish and the English, but I believe division would be present even if they were exactly the same. In fact, isn’t division present in our very households?

Great job the past few weeks of reflecting on the material and class discussions. I like your comments here on understanding difference. Nice work.
