You in Your Small Corner - the elusive dream of evangelical unity
There are few more significant challenges facing the church and churches of our day than that of pursuing meaningful unity.
Mark Johnston
The fact that Jesus prays for a unity which can be witnessed by a watching world in such a way as to endorse the credibility of the gospel (John 17.20-23) and the fact that Paul uses a verb which can be translated 'spare no effort' to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4.3), both point to a Christian responsibility which too many Christians too easily shirk.
