INTRODUCTON - CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The Body of Christ is undivided and for this reason we must overcome the dvisions among Christians that are a counter-witness to this truth.  We recognise that the barriers are great and that our own intellectual and physical force is not enough to heal our sins of division.  The unity of the Church must be brought about by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us, so that each step toward unity is seen as God drawing us nearer to His Kingdom.

The unity of all those who believe in Christ is made visible when Christians truly take up their task in the world in which they are living, when together they speak out against all that destroys the dignity of the human person and pray and act together in favour of true peace.
