Truth is ONE and we need to recognize that we are all approaching that one divine truth from different angles, with different needs, in different eras, and with different starting points.
The final and ultimate goal is one and the same. Unity is not the same as uniformity, and it is crucial to find and highlight the essentials so clearly that we can then freely see what the non-essentials are.
This confusion between essential and non-essential, between means and ends, is the most common mistake of religious people in all religions, clergy and laity alike.
The communion of saints is from all stripes and shades of spiritual pursuit from age to age.
We all have our preferred symbols, rituals, and Scriptures, but let’s not ever let them get in the way of what they are all pointing to and leading us toward—the union of the soul with God.
Ephesians 4:4-6 "For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, in all, and living through all."
