Dear Unity

Description

It began with the breaking of the bread. On Pentecost Sunday 2024, Australian entrepreneur Philip Ryall and his wife Jennie invited church leaders from various Christian backgrounds and denominations into their home for what they hope will be the first of many Unity Meals around the world. Like yeast leavening a loaf of bread, out of that meal grew the impetus for the book Dear Unity, a collection of thoughts from nearly thirty Christian leaders around the world. This powerful compilation of personal reflections, teachings, back stories, and cross-denominational letters brings a whole new perspective on the way we view our fellow believers. What they all share in common is a desire to make the church one body in Christ, as Jesus wanted us to be. Dear Unity is both a book and a movement centered on fostering experiences and expressions of love between brothers and sisters in Christ. Starting with influential figures within the global church, it s designed to involve everyone from the leaders to the layperson, to move beyond any past walls of division to embrace what unites us at our core. Among the twenty-eight authors are Randy Clark, president of Global Awakening; Bo Sanchez, founder of Light of Jesus Family; Darlene Zschech, singer-songwriter and lead pastor of Hope Unlimited Church; Nicky Gumbel, pioneer of Alpha; Francis Chan, founder of Crazy Love Ministries; and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church.
