I have dream (denominational Mix)

I have dream... a dream that each and every member of each and every Christian Denomination ignore each other's denominational differences and recognize that we all have the same Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I have a dream that each and every denomination will recognize that we are all members of His Body, and as such we need each other; we need the Pentecostals and Charisma for we all need to be filled with the Holy Spirit; we all need Methodism, a method of worship; we all need Baptists, for we all need to be baptized in the holy name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; we all need Catholicism for we all need a government ruled by God and with His Son... Himself has the Pope; we all need the Eastern Orthodox for we all need to remember the old ways and our history to understand our heritage and our rootal connection with God's people of Abraham... the circimcised. But first and most importantly, we must look in our hearts and check our Faith. We must ask ourselves: who are we following; John Wesley, John the Baptist, Mary, the Saints, or Jesus Christ?

...and we all need to be angelically holy

That is a nice way of putting it.

You said it.

What, other than the plethora of good food, does Eastern Orthodoxy have to do with the Jewish people? As a point of fact the largest group of Orthodox Christians in the world are (gasp) Arabic in heritage. In fact that's the whole root of the Jerusalem Patriarchate conflict that's been going on for a few years now.

Not much really, I guess. I wrote based its title... meaning tradition... the old ways...

It's a good effort and I commend the thought.

I agree. In these troubling times, we need to pray for one another and to reach out to each other in love.
