Unity is a good thing. But Orthodoxy cannot be compromised.

"The spouse of Christ cannot be adulterous, she is uncorrupted and pure, She knows one home; she guards with chaste modesty the sanctity of one couch. She keeps us for God. She appoints the sons whom she has born for the Kingdom. Whoever is separated from the Church and is joined to an adulteress is separated from the promises of the Church; nor can he who forsakes the Church of Christ attain to the rewards of Christ."
--St. Cyprian of Carthage, On The Unity of the Church (Chapter 6, ANF,V:423),

Indeed! "Unity in Diversity" is the slogan of the heretics. Unity in REALITY, that is in TRUTH, is the law of Christ.

With the new definition of diversity meaning sensitivity and toleration, the phrase "unity in diversity" is certainly a wild card.
We must pray that this dialogue will generate a renewed faith and understanding of what True Orthodoxy is all about.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
