Stanley prioritizes interdenominational unity

ATLANTA — In remarks at the Orange Conference North Point Community Church, Pastor Andy Stanley suggested church unity is more important than “theological correctness.”

Stanley’s comments centered on John 17 and Stanley said he found it significant that the focus of Jesus’ prayer was for the disciples to be one, according to The Christian Post. Stanley told the 8,000 attendees that it is “mission critical” that Christians of different denominations be “one” in their mission.

Theological arguments like how communion should be served or if babies should be baptized are secondary to believing in Jesus Christ, Stanley said. (TAB)
