Capsule: The Christian Church–Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical/Pentecostal and Historic Protestant–doesn’t lack for conversations, activities, books and gatherings extolling the cause of Christian unity, but where are we exactly in this journey toward oneness? Are we making progress in our shared mission to realize Jesus’ prayer in John 17 for a united Church or are we as far apart as ever? Dr. Nicastro provides an overview–the state of Christian unity–engaging these relevant questions directly.
