Why not fruit salad?

A youth ministry friend of mine has become something of a muse for me recently. He inspired this article last month, and now this post after a series of emails about the nature of partnerships. He made a great point about how difficult it is to prioritize working with groups whose missions contrast with our own as "apples and oranges." He got me thinking ... What if Kingdom ministry is like fruit salad? Not something one eats every day (even fruit salad could get redundant), but perfect for special occassions? Like summer barbeques and family picnics? Or to borrow Paul's metaphor, why shouldn't different members of the same body function in concert once in a while?
