How so?

Just cos I don't hug someone means I'm divisive? PLEASE! That's laughable...

But I think I understand what you're talking about - the last part, right?

Unity to me is when we band together to seek a solution. Whether that's a global thing like injustice, or something more local like 'there's a homeless lady on our street, what can we do to help' - that's unity to me.

If I'm not being affectionate with someone brings into question my desire for unity in the church, then I'd be having serious issues with what the church thought unity was!

(If you want to see my desire for unity, just have a look on some of the more controversial topics to do with Christianity on the forum - I believe that some of us get our knickers in knots over things that are more divisive than unifying in the church)...

JMHO!

Sasch

sorry, was being sarcastic.

I just had a mental picture of a church divided in two. The group who Sascha hugs and the group who gets a hand shake.

I see unity as a big thing in the church at the moment, and by 'the church' I mean the body of Christ. More and more congregations are realising that just because the people in the building down the road worship in a different way, doesn't make them any better or worse. I'm seeing more and more interaction between denominations, even working together to put on community events *GASP*!

Each group with a reason to feel superior to another group. Conversations in hushed tones. Eyes cast up to see if anyone is watching. It happens in the smallest congregation. It's one of the reasons young people leave.

Which is why officers always look so stressed just before a Corps Council meeting
