The Mark of the Christian

“The observable practice of truth and the observable practice of love go hand in hand with the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ.”

Short review: Good introduction to why we need to pursue Unity within the church, or organizational, but relational. This is too short, but useful as a long article, but not all that helpful in practical matters. If you are interested in looking at the purpose of unity, then read John Armstrong's Your Church is Too Small. If you want more practical advice on how to balance the needs for truth and love and how to better relate to those that you might disagree (both inside and outside the church) then read Uncommon Decency by Richard Mouw.
