Unity, not uniformity.

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.
— JOHN 17:22–23

Jesus had previously prayed for his disciples in John 17:6-19 and then moved His immediate attention to those who would follow in the teachings of the disciples.  The prayers contain the same call to "unity" found in and through Jesus' life.  Jesus was calling for unity, not uniformity.  That might be where we are today.  We need unity, not uniformity!  Unity is a relationship and points of contact between both people and churches.  When we lose those connections we suffer, and when we strengthen connections we do better.

—Brother Moderator, Bruce Dunk, pastor at Lower Deer Creek
