Very interesting in thinking further about our loggerheaded-communion and the proximate occasions of that: In a Godward direction. What really grabbed me as needing further reflection was this insightful phrase: "expounding the truth that leads to unity rather than being in unity leading to truth"
I'd add that it may be that we also, however, need to learn to testify to truth even when it is spoken by those we have come to think of as opponents. And with that realisation (that this is something we may have to do), we are encouraged thereby to offer our own understandings, convictions and critiques with a greater humility.
