In the New Testament we find a Gospel according to John, three epistles ascribed to John and the Book of Revelation whose author is named John. Together these books are known as the Johannine literature and have a plea for unity as a common theme underlying them all. Even in the earliest days of the Church there was disagreement, division, disputes. The very short third epistle of John offers this advice as one way to promote unity: “Please help the brothers and sisters in a way worthy of God to continue their journey.” We are all on the journey of faith together. None of us has it down perfectly. Helping one another to find our way enables us to discover the unity underneath the diversity.
