Introduction.
Over the years there has been a growing interest in the work of Unity and it's vision
and for some form of Membership from around the world, from E-mail’s and people we
meet on missions who have requested to join UNITY has shown us the need to rectify
this situation, so we started ' Friends in Unity' which allows those with the desire
for the Unity of Christ's body to become an associated member of Unity and do something
positive through the directions laid down below.
Our aim is to bring all Christian denominations throughout the world together in
praise and worship praying for Reconciliation, Forgiveness and Unity and where possible
to meet on the same day as we do, which is the last Saturday of the month.
Become an Associate Member of UNITY, as an individual, a Church, Organization or
a Group and become part of a growing group of Christians, who are committed to building
the unity
of Christ’s Church through reconciliation and forgiveness and by honouring and respecting
each others beliefs and traditions and proclaim the Kingdom of God in one accord
to all the world.
We believe and are dedicated to the Biblical truth that we are meant to be one in
and with Christ, and we work to strengthen the Christian witness that is found in
unity.
As committed Christians we profess our belief in God through the NICENE CREED.
When God heard the cry of his people, he answered them, imagine what would happen
if thousands of us Christians from around the world of every denomination united
together in praise and worship and committed themselves to praying and working for
the Unity of Christ's Church, the barriers that divide us would crumble.
Then the prayer of Jesus ' John 17: 20-23' would start to become a reality.
WHO ARE, FRIENDS in UNITY?
Friends in Unity are a group of people who have the desire for the unity of Christ's
Church
(not unification) and are touched and inspired by the work of Unity and have accepted
our vision.
They are individual people, families, groups, Churches, Organization and Communities
who feel called to further the call for unity of Christ's body the Church by God
and to support Unity in our work.
We realize that everyone that show’s an interest in the work of Unity cannot become
an active member.
So we ask you to pray and ask God; “in which way you can help in forwarding His call
for Unity”.
