And Christian Unity is more about focusing on what we DO agree on Pretending that we don't disagree or pretending that it doesn't matter doesn't do service to the Gospel and isn't real unity. See the Father and Jesus' unity for example.
Christian unity is important in our struggle with secularism (gay marriage, abortion, euthanasia etc) and Islam.
These issues are antithetical to all Christians and can be addressed without a false ecumenism.

Ah -- we're talking past each other. By ecumenism I meant talking seriously about what divides us. By Christian unity I meant our struggles with secularism and Islam
