WELCOME February 1, 1999 Issue

To Our Readers

William E. Moody

Stereotypes. Here's one to think about. I grew up in the South—the southern United States. "Deep in the heart of Dixie," as the song goes. Any stereotypes come to mind?

I'll tell you at least one that doesn't apply. In my family, prejudice wasn't allowed. It wasn't taught, approved, permitted. Race, culture, religion—these were all part of the amazing diversity of the world in which we live. Each individual was to be appreciated for who he or she is—for qualities of character. My dad was recognized in the community for furthering understanding and building relations among the races.

I've always been grateful for the lessons I learned as a boy about individual worth. And later, as I studied Christian Science, I understood more of the universal Love, God, who creates all of us as children of God. We're one family, "joint-heirs with Christ." And we're all special and precious as individuals. The uniqueness of each child of God is to be cherished.
