Topic: A Call For Unity

Based on our Lord's call to be one, the Covenant Church was founded upon the principle that unity in Christ should take precedence over many other concerns, including doctrinal and political differences.
Sixth, Jesus said "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." Whether or not we believe this war is God's choice as an instrument of peace, each of us should seek peace on earth and pray for it.
Unity in Christ is a precious gift which we hold in trust not only for ourselves but for the world.

 Uniting the Masses
But there is another interesting aspect to the calls for "unity": There are many possible responses we could unite behind: pacifism, a police operation, a limited war, and so on.
But the neocons' call for unity means unity behind the project – American hegemony – that they have been recommending for years anyway, a project that, by the way, they hope to lead.
Their plea translates to: "Shut up and stop arguing with us." Despite the jawboning about unity, they have no problem trashing the moderate approach of Colin Powell, who, as Secretary of State, is presumably one of the leaders we should be uniting behind.

The pledge was the great call for those of a broken nation to join together under one flag and call themselves one people.
The Pledge of Allegiance was not designed as a call to religious belief or religious unity, rather it was written as a call to the nation to gather as one people and make a better life for themselves.

 The Blog | George Lakoff: A Call for Progressive Unity | The Huffington Post
True unity is and always will be difficult to achieve in any group, because people are free to label themselves any way they choose.
Call it framing if you will, but the only way to be truly progressive is to be vocal about your ideals while being compassionate and tolerant of others.
The good doctor's point of unity is all too evident in the responses I have read here.As it should be...The purpose, or by-product, of 'intellect' is to question any thesis, therefore lack of consensus until the concepts are digested.

Haniya, whose Islamist movement is engaged in a deadly power struggle with Abbas's Fatah party, made the claim as he called on the two sides to halt the feuding that has claimed more than 30 lives in the past month.
Haniya accused the United States and Israel of pursuing a strategy toward the Palestinians, of which the main pillar is "not to allow the formation of a Palestinian national unity government" capable of ending the crippling Western aid freeze imposed after his administration took power in March.
It implicitly recognises Israel's right to exist by calling for a Palestinian state on land occupied in 1967, as well as for an end to attacks in Israel and a national unity government.

Emergency government is a call for civil war without any decisive solution of the struggle we're seeing.
