Sinopsis

For as long as Christian churches and communities have been divided, there are those who have looked for ways to heal the fractures. Callan Slipper offers five ways for Christians to approach one another on the path toward unity. (1) Recognize the need; (2) Start from being united; (3) Proceed one person at a time, with love; (4) Don't make yourself the measure of truth. Truth is a person. It is Jesus; (5) embrace the cross, and let Jesus' love transform division. His observations come from years of experience with ecumenists, and his optimism that unity is inevitable is evidence that faith and hope undergird the challenges that abide our daily choice to build Christian unity by the way we love one another.

About the “5 Steps” Series
This series features small (pocket-sized) books that apply concepts of a spirituality of communion to current issues and concerns of church and society. Treating one topic per volume, the texts focus on positive ways of engaging with gaps and divisions in family, church, and society. Following an introduction, the topic is developed via 5 short chapters (or “steps”). Uniquely, the series features a real-life story (“experience”) to illustrate how each step can be applied in daily life.
