Certainly not, Nolan, merely for the sake of appearing united, or of being united superficially in name only, but divided in core beliefs. Real unity of Christians involves a great deal more than signing on to an ecumenical movement. The views of conservative Christians frequently differ markedly from those of liberal Christians on certain issues, and the polarity appears to be getting stronger rather than weaker. Unity of believers is a worthy goal, not to be dismissed lightly, because for it our Lord so fervently prayed. But I really don't see as reality the achieving of a worldwide Christian church living in unity and cooperation in our time -- certainly not left to our own devices. But Christians should never cease to pray for unity. Nothing, of course, is impossible with God. --Hank | ||||||

Greetings Hank! As always, I appreciate your wisdom filled responses! I agree, the polarity of the church is growing which can be seen in the directions taken with different issues plaguing different congregations today. We will continue to pray for unity and for each other, but as you have put it, we can only do this with God's help since 'nothing, of course, is impossible with God'. I believe that the only way in which we can truly be united once again is in heaven with our Lord and Savior. Thank you my dear brother in Christ! Nolan |
