Synergy - Dedicated to the proposition that two heads are better than one.

The two heads are Leslie Kay and Jennifer J. Schwirzer

Synergy is an e-column, published through Michael Ministries, authored by Leslie Kay and Jennifer Schwirzer. The original concept for the column came when Leslie and Jennifer discovered that many of life's issues, including theological issues, religious issues, political issues, and practical issues, involved paradoxes. A paradox is a double-sided truth that seems on the surface to contradict itself, but really harbors a deep, underlying harmony. The discovery of that harmony requires the Spirit of God, working through the cooperative, loving effort of truth seekers as they respectfully listen to, and challenge, one another. Paradoxical thinking is not mere diplomacy or ecumenism. It is not the compromise of truth with error. Rather, it is the harmonizing of truth with truth through prayer and thoughtful communication.
