If we are blue, we should not pretend to be red. If we are green, we should not try to smother out yellow. We all belong. We're meant to be here. The denominations have grown up for their various reasons and have been shaped by history, and indeed they have shaped history. They need celebrating, not diminishing or merging. Co-operation is fine, mutual respect and working for common aims and goals: noble. However, let us not work towards a Christian monolith. We need to be the many, worshipping the One God.
This mission exists to promote the strengths of the various denominations by education and support. It also supports, by inclusion, independants and non-denominationals. It is not our job to promote one denomination above another, or to judge their systems or merits, or to condemn aspects of their belief. Everyone is responsible for their own salvation. We will support each and every Christian either as a part of a denomination or as an individual.
