One Church!

In an article written by Bethe Dufresne appearing on TheDay.com newspaper web site published October 3, 2005, Bethe reports on the message delivered by His Eminence Methodios, Metropolitan of Boston to the Greek Orthodox Church faithful.

Bethe writes…


“Known for his ecumenical outlook, the metropolitan emphasized what he sees as a need for Christian denominations to rally around what unites them instead of squabbling over what divides them….Any alliance that includes the Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches and some 500 Protestant denominations would be a powerful force, he said, in a nation he regards as increasingly distant from the Gospel teachings.”


While no Christian would deny that a single Church with God at its head, of one accord in truth, would be a power without equal, I wonder, since we can no longer agree on what is true, “would an alliance require compromises of truth for the sake of unity?”

This leads to what is becoming a recurring follow on question here, “does the truth really matter?”
