A United Christendom

Unity in Christendom is a subject that gathers intense interest as time goes on. Some denominations have united in an effort to make Christianity one church. Others hold aloof, believing that it is essential to have many denominations in order to maintain theological independence.

No doubt, the breaking up of the Christian movement into many denominations has been a transitional step toward eventual unity on a right basis. Such unity, however, will never be achieved until Truth, which is Christianity in its highest sense, is universally understood.

Christian Science insists that Christian doctrine must be proved by healing works and that creeds have value only in the measure of the truth they contain. True unity in Christendom can never come on the basis of human agreement. It can come only as Christianity is demonstrated as the expression of one God, one Principle, and as having no conflict of doctrine in it. In the Christianity that Jesus taught and demonstrated real life is revealed as spiritual, and the material sense of life is seen as an illusion and a fraud. Man is known as the spiritual son of God, and the mortal sense of man is seen as a lie.
