The Unity Factor is rooted in the prayer Jesus in John 17:20-23, a prayer that presents to us an unreachable goal. How can we ever live out Christ's plan for us to be one in faith and mission when we are so deeply divided by social, cultural, racial, and doctrinal fault lines?

Today, a new generation of Christian leaders is asking: "What can we do to express our oneness before God and the world?" The answer to this question is the purpose of this book which challenges our easy acceptance of divisions while helping us envision how our future can be beter than our recent past.
