We can talk forever about unity and togetherness but what about the reality? We can gather, talk and sing about oneness but the real evidence is the way we treat each other. One way to stir up division is to mention controversies – so usually we don’t. We avoid difficult subjects in the pursuit of ‘unity’ but if we want authentic unity with Truth at the centre, we need to face the difficulties between us.

At the Saints in the Stadium national prayer gathering in October 2013 we asked God to help the Church with the problem topics amongst us. We named 8 examples of controversies and with each one we prayed for God to help us:

“Help us to listen in love, and to seek truth together.”
