The unity of Christendom is not a luxury, but a necessity. The world will go limping until Christ’s prayer that all may be one is answered. We must
have unity, not at all costs, but at all risks. A unified Church is the only offering we dare present to the coming Christ, for in it alone will He find room to
dwell.
Charles H Brent

Promoting church unity
Together we can:
• Pray.• Care for the needy.
You cannot sift out the poor from the community. The poor are indispensable to the rich. – Henry Beecher
• Fight the enemy.• Deal with crises.• Gather the harvest.

Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented
together.
Corrie ten Boom
