God-impelled unification

NATHAN A. TALBOT

This is a marvelous age to understand that man is spiritual instead of material. It is a unique and critical time in history to realize that the unity we can have with each other stems directly from our understanding of the unity man eternally has with Spirit, God.

Mankind has left behind an era when individuals scattered around the globe could easily isolate themselves from the rest of the world. We've broken into the era of widespread interdependence.

Many see a great deal of promise in this coming together—the demand to work things out as a team on this small planet. Yes, there is much promise; yet major challenges must be faced as people are drawn together. Contrasting political ideologies and economic systems, even cultural differences themselves, may disrupt the drift toward a measure of unity.
