As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

Unity is Mature Christianity

Ecumenism Means You, Too: Ordinary Christians and the Quest for Christian Unity
Ecumenism Means
You  Too
What caused the East-West Schism in the Christian Church in 1054 AD? Why have there been other divisions before and since? The closer we get to Jesus, should not we experience more unity with each other? That was the prayer of Jesus (John 17:1-11). Why is it then that so many long time Christians find grounds for disunity? Why do we have denominations? Why is it that long time members of churches are among the leaders in any church split? What causes splits, schisms and church wars? One thing is for sure, it is not greater desire for the will of Christ. Can long time Christians deceive themselves that they have become more mature, when they act divisively and contrary to the will of the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ? Could it be that unity is mature Christianity?
