Hello again. I wasn't sure where to post this, so it may not be in the right place. Anyway, I really appreciate all the responses to my question, and they have given me much to think about.

I think I understand what has been said, and I don't disagree, but as you probably all know it becomes more complicated when we talk to someone who is part of the RCC. Sometimes we use the same word but mean something very different, and it can become frustrating. I can't tell you how many times I've thought I finally understood their meaning, only to later find out I didn't have the right concept at all. Unity just for the sake of unity is meaningless, and yet I don't want to divide over something that's really just the result of not being able to scale the language barrier. Sometimes it appears that our differences are vast, and other times I look at the big things we have in common and realize what a shame it would be to just throw all those away.

This is a great message board, and it's a real pleasure to read all the different discussions going on!
