People carp all the time about "unity." We even have a Task Force on Unity in GCUMM. I have always been leery of unity talk, because it so often means "let's all agree to act together," but the decision on what actions to take is another time, another place, and some folks don't get invited. "Unity" thus becomes "bait-and-switch." But real understanding and desire to achieve a common vision begets genuine unity: a unity that sees through the bait-and-switch and gets real goods achieved. May it be so this year in the General Commission on United Methodist Men and all its affiliates.
