This blog seeks to promote and establish ecumenism among all groups and denominations of the Christian Faith via expressions in written language, and through any means of communication. We seek the promotion of others that are working towards the same common goal, as well. The prayer of Jesus in John 17: 21 was: "I pray that they may all be one…." Ultimately and eternally, the creation of unity among all believers and followers of Christ is sought desiring harmony with and for all of humanity.

Why I decided to Start this Blog
I am actually on a mini-vacation with my wife in Nantucket as I write this, but I just wanted to share some thoughts on why I decided to start this blog. Unifying the Faith is really the title of a book on ecumenism that I have been working on for a little over two years or maybe three, now. I am still less than half way done from completing it because of the little time that I have been able to dedicate to it due to other things in my life that have kept me busy. Regardless, I decided to share some of these ideas from that writing project by creating this blog because I believe that sharing these thoughts is important. Moreover, I firmly believe in the cause for creating ecumenism more than just simply writing about it as a great idea. I have been spending time reading other authors that have written with relevance to the subject, some of which I did not know before, but realized they were leaning towards the same cause and now I have been able to interact with some in places such as social media. It may be really cool if perhaps in the near future we can all network in working together towards this same cause and goal. I am aware that other organizations such as the World Council of Churches have been working on the cause for many decades, but I am sure that they would also agree that there is always room for more unity in our world and less of the opposite. I have been even thinking of creating a non-profit global community or organization called Faith United that would work on ecumenism among all Christians, as well as interacting with other Faiths that share these views. I actually see Faith United promoting ecumenical conferences alongside other organizations sometime in the very near future. So, if any of you readers and friends feels that this is a cause you may be interested in promoting, I think we should start interacting to see how we can make this a reality. Anyhow, I hope everyone is having a wonderful week, and my prayers are with those experiencing hardships and difficulties. Blessings!
