In Deuteronomy 14 (in the King James version) we read, “For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself.” The phrase also appears in 1 Peter 2: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” We tend to use the word “peculiar” to mean weird or quirky, but in this case it means set apart, called or chosen by God. Members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have often referred to themselves as a “peculiar people,” as have the Quakers and certain members of the Wesleyan Church. January 10 is Peculiar People Day, but I’m not sure which definition applies here – consecrated or bizarre. You could try being both, and cover all bases.
