Our unity with one another is anchored in the unity that exists in the Holy Trinity.  The Father, Son and Spirit live in complete unity.   The Spirit in us seeks to bring this kind of unity to our faith communities.  When the Spirit works in us unhindered, He will bring us together in the family of God, in spite of our political, cultural, and personal differences.  We desperately need to let the Spirit heal the divisions that exists among us and bring us to real unity in the Spirit.

“Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.  There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 4:1-6 (NASB)
