Calvinism vs Arminianism... meh! (Part 2)

"Only recently the Mission had accepted a number of highly educated and well-gifted young men who were members of the State Church. How, then, were they able to work together with Methodists and Baptists, etc? Mr. Taylor replied that, in our chief aims, we are all one in Christ ... The great work of the mission field, which is a call to us all, overrides theological differences, and our motto remains, "All one in Christ.""
Biography of James Hudson Taylor, p487

Recently attending our early morning prayer meetings at Kings, seeking God for revival, one of the highlights for me was that people from churches all over Eastbourne came and prayed with us. They are our brothers and sisters, and the unity was awesome.

In one sense there's so many theological differences. But in another, it's actually quite remarkable how we almost entirely agree on all the major issues.
