A house with many rooms has separate quarters but they are connected. They are not hermetically sealed.
"Oh no" says the one who wants to be hermetically sealed. "Now you are talking ecumenism". And with such words they build walls and hide.

Christianity is divided and has been since the Reformation, and before that, the East-West schism. Let's not pretend it isn't. Let's not forget that fact, and as Protestants, not forget that division is the reason we're not all still saying our Hail Mary's today. So because of these facts don't think you can take some sort of high moral ground about us being the "most divided" compared to the thousands of denominations in existence today because of the division that Luther and others caused. You can't re-write history, and pretend that thousands of denominations existing today are somehow closer to unity than the single greatest division that Luther caused, or, claim that those who leave or wish to leave that system of thousands of denominations are somehow "more divided" than those who don't.
