ONE "That They All May Be One..." Why True Biblical Unity Is Essential
www.training-resources.orgTom Kraeuter, BiblicalUnity.com
“And it should be noted that there are even those who declare themselves to be Christians, but refuse to acknowledge things that the Bible calls sin. For example, in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, the Apostle Paul names specific sins like sexually immorality, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, stealing, being greedy and others. If we pretend that the things that Scripture says are sin are not actually sin—and that those things don’t ultimately separate us from God—then we have undermined the whole point of the gospel message. Without the cross—without the saving work of Jesus’ blood because of our sins—we have no hope for eternity and we have no basis for any honest unity here and now.”

Unity In Reconciled Diversity Recent Video. Watch this message of unity from Pope Francis. Together we confess: By grace alone, in faith in Christ’s saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping and calling us to good works.

"Since the founding of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement in 1898 by Servant of God, Father Paul Wattson, SA, prayer has been a cornerstone of our Franciscan life... Fr. Paul dedicated his fraternity of friars and his life to the pursuit of "At-one-ment" --- the unity of all people with God and one another... by reaching out worldwide in the spirit of Father Paul, who made his own the prayer of Jesus, "That all may be one... that the world may believe... " (John 17:21)
"The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity was co-founded at Graymoor in 1908 and continues today to realign the hearts of Christians toward mutual recognition and spiritual transformation... For much of the world, this Week of Prayer is (held during) January 18-25. For some others, it is celebrated during the eight days preceding Pentecost... " (the birthday of the church).
New materials are prepared each year by various participating churches around the world, and may be obtained by contacting the Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute at geii.org/week-of-prayer-for-christian-unity
