Christian disunity lost the Middle East and Egypt to the rise of Islam; the division between the Eastern and Western Churches in Orthodoxy and Catholicism assisted the conquest of Constantinople and the division of eastern and western europe; the division within Western Christnedom at the time of the Reformation, left both Catholic Church and the Protestant denominations weaker and weakened in their mission to evangelize, and fractured Western Civilization opening the doors to the Napoleonic wars, the rise of communism, and the First and Second World Wars and the consequent Cold War

When will we take Christ’s prayer: that they may be one seriously?
