CHRISTIAN UNITY IN DIVERSITY CENTRAL
Helping Today’s Divided Christians to Think about Christian Unity as the Undivided Early Church of the First Millennium Lived It (Unity in Diversity never Uniformity), So That the 3rd Millennium Church Can Become a Better Witness of Jesus’ Love to the World Which Needs to Know Him
featuring the writing of Peter William John Baptiste, SFO
(saying with his namesake John the Baptist, “Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord,” prepare the way of the Lord Jesus whose only command was this:)
“A new command I give you: Love one another … By this all men will know that you are [Christians], if you love one another” (John 13:34-35). Jesus prayed to His Father “that all [Christians] may be one … so that the world may believe that You have sent me … May [Christians] be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent me and have loved them even as You have loved me.” (John 17:21,23)
Jesus’ Prayer for Christian Unity Obligates All Christians to Seek Unity in Love with Each Other “So That the World May Believe” in Jesus When it Sees Our Love for “One Another”

Much material (including 4 full hyper-linked books) is already available on over 75 web pages on this site. You can already…
Explore this site to discover the “golden threads” which tie together into one coherent whole the essential Christian doctrines (especially the Trinity); the entire text of both Testaments of the Bible; the entirety of Christian history to the present day (including Christian failures and divisions as God slowly and patiently leads His Church to greater maturity in love); and the 21st Ecumenical Council’s Ecclesiology which lays the groundwork for reestablishing the Undivided Early Church’s First Millennium unity in diversity.
… However,
THIS SITE IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION
So, COME BACK OFTEN
for more inspirational, motivational and educational content,
more useful links,
and eventually a FORUM for Christians worldwide actually dialoguing together lovingly about what already unites them and what for the moment separates them, so they can together gradually clear up misunderstandings and eventually come to mutually agreed-on resolutions to current disputes so as to actively build unity on this website “so that the world may believe” in Jesus Christ our Head when it sees our love for each other as His Body on Earth the Church despite our differences).
["Under Construction" Note- throughout the Site footnotes can be accessed by scrolling to the bottom of the page; for now clicking the footnote links takes you out of the Site instead of directly to the footnote. Many of the footnotes contain much relevant or fascinating supplemental information and are worth scrolling down for]

***********************
As you explore this website, pray that you will CATCH THE VISION God has given the author of a really possible (long-term) Christian Reunification, as Jesus prayed for “so that the world may believe,” by seeing how “Family Theology” makes plain the “golden threads,” the strong links between:
1. the very nature of God the Holy Trinity of Love who is the primordial Trinitarian Family (Father, Son and Holy Spirit – parenthood, childhood, and the fruitful love which binds them in one Godhead) and
2. the full Biblical history in both Testaments in which God the Trinitarian Family of Love bound Himself in love to humanity when He patiently raised humanity through six Biblical adoptive (family-making) Covenants (with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jesus Christ) culminating in the current New Covenant Christian Church which is preparing us for the 7th, final, Eternal Family Covenant of the Kingdom of Heaven with its “new heavens and new earth;” and
3. Christian history since the Biblical record ended, which continues the same Biblical patterns of God slowly and patiently raising His latest Covenant Family to only gradually ever-greater maturity in love, a back-and-forth process in which the New Covenant Family (as the Old in the brief United Kingdom of Israel) had initial success in the Undivided Early Church but lost it due to immaturity in love which (as in the 0lder Covenants) led to divisions which were expected by God the Father in His divinely patient process of raising His Covenant children to maturity; and
4. makes plain how the 21st Ecumenical Council (Vatican II)’s little-known but exceptional ecclesiology (understanding of the Church) based on the Undivided Early Church’s lived reality LAID THE GROUNDWORK for a future genuine and fruitful Church reunification as Jesus prayed for “so that the world may believe” (although both Catholic Christians and non-Catholic Christians need to really learn this Early Church ecclesiology of “unity in diversity” before this Council can bear the fruit of reunification).
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
