Sadly, division and disharmony—even hostility—is not confined to spheres outside of the church. Rather these very same ugly realities sometimes pervade the church and are sometimes pervasive within local churches. Such an attitude is inexcusable, unconscionable and ungodly. In fact, it may reveal an unregenerate heart. In Ephesians 2:11–22 Paul makes this very point as he emphasises that, in Christ, a whole new “race of man” has been formed.
