Church Unity
Unity is not a thing to possess but a way of possessing; Unity is not a gift to be given but a way of giving; Unity is not a topic to teach but a way of teaching; Unity is not a theory to learn but a way of learning; Unity is not an opinion to hold but a way of holding; Unity is not a resolution of strife but a way of striving; Unity is not a creed to preach but a way of preaching; Unity is not a God to serve but a way of serving; Unity is not a question to ask but a way of asking; Unity is not an answer to seek but a way of seeking; Unity is not a journey’s end but a way of journeying.

Churches Together in Suffolk unites in pilgrimage
those Churches in Suffolk which, acknowledging God's revelation in Christ, confess the
Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures, and, in obedience to
God's will and in the power of the Holy Spirit, commit themselves:
to seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one
another in the Church,
which is his body; and
to fulfill their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness and
service in the world;
to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
