Christians confess in the Creed the One Church. This unity of the church is not visible empirically. Controversial ethical issues, for example how to deal with homosexuality, manifest central concerns. How do we read the bible? What is the meaning of community? Are we ready to listen to others in such a way that we understand why they have a different opinion? Values, can they possibly complement each other, allowing contradictory opinions to be healing correctives for each other? Unity can grow, where Christians acknowledge differences, regard each other as members of the Christian family despite the suffering because of the other, and where they discover that the truth of the other can be just as reasonable as the own.
