Nowhere is Universalism welcomed and encouraged by a people; everywhere governments have forced and are forcing Universalism upon unwilling and resistant subjects.
Scripture starts with the particular and then universalizes it. You are called to love your concrete individual neighbor and then to realize that every individual is your neighbor. The point is not to destroy concrete neighborhood in a fit of universalism but to expand the local neighborhood and embrace the universal neighborhood.
The primary ideology that operated to create, socialize, and reproduce them was not the ideology of racism. It was that of universalism.
I don’t believe in universalism, but I do believe in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of all
Universalism as an ideal is as old as nay, is probably much more ancient than the Christian ideal.
. . . I have great hopes for the possibility of a dynamic universalism that respects all our people.
