So, I reread Chapter 1 of Hon's book. It does a good job of explaining why he places so much weight on John 17 for what God's purpose is, and relates what Jesus prayed there to other verses on God's purpose.

As "that they(His believers) would be one" (even as He and the Father) is stated three times in John 17. Since out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, and Jesus and the Father are one, this is clearly God's hearts desire for believers. So who am I to say Hon is wrong to place such emphasis there?

I have two or three sentences in Chapter 1 to suggest changes to, but will do that to Henry privately.

The book goes on to discuss much more detail on the oneness of the Spirit we all have and are charged to keep, and all of us maturing into the oneness of the faith from doctrinal and practical standpoints. And I witnessed it in action Saturday, so I want to do what I urged Evangelical to do "not rush to judgement" here.
