Unity amongst Reformed Presbyterians

It puzzles me
how we
can be so close and yet worlds apart.
~ Kansas, "Journey From Mariabronn."

Fact is, we have the tools we need -- one Confession of Faith, one system of Catechizing, one system of Church Government, one Directory for Worship, one Hymnal, one common tradition and heritage, and an ecumenical Covenant to bind us together.

Yes, I must ponder this more. I must pray about this more. There needs to be at least an honest effort towards unity. Hear me? Let us not remain sinfully silent, as I, regretfully, have been. I have attempted to make initial contact with someone to discuss this, I await his reply.

"It is an evil which prevails everywhere among mankind, that every one sets himself above others, and especially that those who seem in anything to excel cannot well endure their inferiors to be on an equality with themselves. And then there is so much morosity almost in all, that individuals would gladly make churches for themselves if they could; for they find it so difficult to accommodate themselves to the ways and habits of others. The rich envy one another; and hardly one in a hundred can be found among the rich, who allows to the poor the name and rank of brethren. Unless similarity of habits or some allurements or advantages draw us together, it is very difficult even to maintain a continual concord among ourselves. Extremely needed, therefore, by us all is the admonition to be stimulated to love and not to envy, and not to separate from those whom God has joined to us, but to embrace with brotherly kindness all those who are united to us in faith. And surely it behaves us the more earnestly to cultivate unity, as the more eagerly watchful Satan is, either to tear us by any means from the Church, or stealthily to seduce us from it."
~ John Calvin.
