A problem or an opportunity?

The All Seminary Council picked the theme of "Unity" as Fuller's focus and commitment for the 2005-2006 school year. They are focusing on unity over three areas, fall quarter is racial and ethnic unity and this winter quarter is theological and denominational unity.
Coming to LA from the Southeast was a culture shock as I was confronted with a much wider spectrum of races and ethnicities than I had ever encountered in Richmond. LA has been called a "city of minorities." One of the reasons I choose Fuller Seminary was because of the racial and ethnic diversity. However as I had spent a few weeks here I realized that increased numbers does not equal reconciliation.
This Wednesday assistant dean of Fuller's Hispanic Studies Program, Juan Martinez, spoke at All Seminary Chapel. Using John's vision of heaven in Revelation 7:9-17, Martinez challenged the faculty, staff and students at Fuller to dream God's dream about reconciliation in the world, more specifically Los Angeles and even more specifically at Fuller.
"...A great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb..."
Martinez said that there is not a "Melting Pot" vision in heaven but instead each culture is worshipping God in its distinctiveness intermingled with other cultures worshipping in their distinctiveness. He asked how can we dream about the present racial and ethnic situation with the future in mind? Is it a problem or an opportunity?
