I’ve been thinking recently about unity amongst Christians. What unites us are not the ways we do things, or even some of the things we believe. If we had to be the same in everything, that would be uniformity, not unity. And if we spent our time insisting that everyone else become like us and think like us and act like us, there would never be unity, only conflict…

The statement was made to me, “If ever Christians need to be tightly united, it is now!” By my count there are at least eight Christian Churches in Young. The late James Calvert, Pastor of the New Life Church in Young, was a passionate advocate for Christian unity. I believe that a very real sense of unity does exist and it is growing.
