Sophia describes Unity like this: Christian Unity means going out of your way to make everyone feel included instead of taking the easy way out. Acknowledging everyone’s differences respectfully and not letting them interfere with how you treat them. It is also remembering that everyone is a child of God and we should treat them accordingly.
