“One Body” Politics

Ecumenism is a nice—but implausible—idea. As long as we seek to maintain the denominational walls that divide us within the broader Christian faith we can never achieve unity. What we have instead is Christian pluralism. And even there you will not find many who would endorse that all Christian roads lead to the one. What we need is unification. The body of Christ must be one. We must come together as children of the living God. We must acknowledge our common union in Christ. And we must give up our denominational identities and unite under the umbrella of Christ alone. Guided by scripture alone.

I’ll try to unpack this some more in future posts exploring: possible solutions; why unification is necessary (and scriptural); what if Christians fail to unite in Christ.
