"I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other."
These words, shared by Paul to the church in Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:10), speak today to what is good and true in the church, which is a people who lose their differences in the transforming presence of God. Those who pray for Christ's authority with others who pray for Christ's authority receive the presence of Jesus not in one voice but in the voices of those around them.
