I have had that same sense for some time now. That is, when His love is truly experienced in and through us, ALL the nonsensical things that divide us will just melt away!
This morning I woke up thinking that the best way to frame this thread's question is to imagine you had no knowledge of all the divisions in church history, and you were just reading the NT for the first time - how would you see how the church met practically?
