God loves every person regardless of their actions and we are God's children. In my earthly immediate family, and wordly family, there are those who I do not like their actions and I cannot agree with their theology or lack of. However, because we are "family" I continue to love them and show them my love by my actions towards them. When appropriate and when I think those family members are open to our conversation I try to let them know of what we disagree on and try to engage them in positive conversation. I do not think we should be indifferent to anyone. I may not carry on a lengthy conversations with everyone I meet but offering them hospitality by my greeting, etc. should at least let them know that they are of value to me. There are so many things that divide us now and we must keep our vision of how things could be if our actions were changed. How we treat others is based on our conception of God and our vision for the future with God being our partner and co-worker in God's Kin-dom.
