The author of this article engages the contentious issue of lack of unity and the presence of divisions in the church today. This author proceeds to explain how believers today must understand the unity of the church, the divisions that have assaulted it, and the necessity of diversity in it. The author also attacks what he calls extreme denominationalism and extreme unionism.

Steps to overcoming denominationalism and working towards church unity can be taken when denominations learn to deal with their attitudes towards one another. Pride, contentiousness, envy, harshness, xenophobia, immaturity, anger, ambition, and party spirit are attitudes that hinder unity.
