Unity Is...
The theme: working together in unity: "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity" (Psalm 133:1). As we contemplate the meaning of this verse, it is obvious to us that one of the key

the state, quality, or condition of accord or agreement; singleness or constancy of purpose or action; the combination or arrangement of parts into a whole.
After reading this, and keeping our focus within the life of the Church, it seems to me that the real origin of our understanding or definition of unity, of being of one accord, purpose or action, or combination of parts into a whole, is found within the nature of the Godhead, the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
