More about unity

Yeah - after giving the seminar I feel a bit uncertain.
Undoubtedly, we are spiritually united to every Christian in the world. And undoubtedly, the main place to display that unity is in the local church.
But I wonder why Jesus prays for us "to be one" then. How is that answered that prayer - and when? When we love each other in the church it is undoubtedly unity in action, and definitely where the "manifold wisdom of God" is displayed - but is that displayed inter-church as well. I don't know - cos our situation is so different from the first century....
On another note, that new tune to "It's finished the Messiah dies" is awesome as are the words. I'll be singing that again.
