The ideal of Church Unity is expressed in song and Scripture and serves as our slice of Daily Bread on this Sabbath. It is not only a unity between denominations, but a unity within our own community, our own families, and our own hearts. Spend some time with these nourishing passages.
Summoned by the God who made us
Rich in our diversity,
Gathered now in celebation,
Richer still in unity:
Let us bring the gifts that differ
And, in splendid, varied ways,
Sing a new world into being,
One in love and one in praise.
--Magnificat, January, p. 310
"I [Paul], then, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and goodness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit though the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." (Eph 4: 1-6)
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant us to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord we may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. (Rom 15: 5-6)
