Yes, unity, that's what the gospel is all about! /s

" I (Jesus) came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law." - Luke 12:49-56

Actually, the Gospel IS about unity. Jesus often prayed that his followers remain a united family. But this is NOT the same as welcoming people who reject basic doctrine and moral precepts.
