The article presents the editor's reflections on the nature of Christian unity. Comments are given noting how the editor's own denomination of Presbyterianism, like many in the United States, are undergoing deep internal conflict over issues such as the ordination of gay clergy. The editor laments that there are over 38,000 Protestant denominations, suggesting it is a sign of divisiveness rather than healthy diversity.
