Raised in the Christian patriarchy movement, Cait West was homeschooled and could only wear clothes her father deemed modest. She was five years old the first time she was told her swimsuit was too revealing, to go change. There would be no college in her future, no career.

A Polish nationalist as well as a monk, he gave sanctuary to fleeing refugees and his death was no less remarkable: he volunteered to die, saving the life of a fellow prisoner. It was an act that profoundly transformed the lives of two Japanese men.

The daughter of an artist, Helen Tworkov grew up in the heady climate of the New York School of Abstract Expressionism; yet from an early age, she questioned the value of Western cultural norms. At the age of twenty-two, she set off for Japan, then traveled through Cambodia, India, and eventually to Tibetan refugee camps in Nepal.

Today there is a diversity crisis. Biodiversity loss is at the level of mass extinction. Cultural diversity is also being lost, with migration, modernisation, and language loss. The roots of this crisis lie in the 4th century CE. In this century, the Roman Church set its sights on creating a universal church. With the god of Judaism at its centre, it aimed to spread to all nations. The central commandment of this faith passed on by Moses is that there can only be one god. No other gods can be tolerated.
