Christ “hath tasted death for every man,” not only for all kinds of men, as some vainly talk, but for every man of all kinds;

Which has a bit of an intersectional ring to it in my mind. (Recall the term “intersectional” comes from Kimberle Crenshaw’s analysis of a court case where a company was found not guilty of either sexist discrimination or racist discrimination because they had white women and Black men, even though they wouldn’t hire Black women.)

But your last line…yes. My outreach efforts with meetings have included a lot of trying to get them to consider what they have that others would want. Yes, yes, I know you want more people so that the meeting will survive long enough for someone to take care of the meetinghouse burial ground once you’re in it. That’s not a compelling reason for them to join. And “you can believe anything you want” is just as true of simply not joining a faith community at all!
