The importance and possibility of Christian Unity in the midst of political difference

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.

Out of the love and grace we experience in Christ we, his followers, are called to be one in mind and spirit!

Approach everything with humility & curiosity

Find Common ground 

Remember the foundation we share as believers: loving God & others: 

Be bold and establish boundaries

John 17:20-23

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
