 APPRASAIL OF THE UNITY OF THE CHURCHES AND ITS RELEVANCE IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTPeter Addai- Mensah () Journal of Philosophy, Culture and Religion, 2020, vol. 3, issue 2, 1 - 10 Abstract: Jesus came into the world mainly to proclaim the Reign/Kingdom of God - cf. Mk. 1: 14 - 15. This Reign of God is a mystery. It is beyond human comprehension and understanding. To help us to understand the mysterious nature of the Reign of God, Jesus used images and parables to depict and teach about the inner dynamics of the Reign of God - cf. Matt. 13: 1 ff. According to Jesus, no human being can bring about the Reign of God. It is God who initiates and brings it about. In the course of his ministry, he got some followers who later on grew into the Church. After staying with them, forming them for some time, he sent them on mission. The mission was very specific - to preach about the Reign of God - cf. Matt. 10:1-25. In this article the author discusses among other things: Jesus on unity among his disciples: Unity in the Early church in the Acts of the Apostles: Division in the cause of the History of the Church: The Church and National Development and Efforts towards Unity among the Churches. In this article the author does not use either the qualitative or the quantitative or the mixed methods. Instead the literary approach is used. In other words, library sources are used. Keywords: Unity; Church and National Development.
