How much are Christians supposed to work together? There are opinions that span the entire spectrum from they shouldn't at all (so as not to compromise beliefs) to they all should all the time (in order to reach more).
Now, there's no black and white here. There are a lot of issues in between the above words that skew our vision. I wish that on my campus the three evangelical Christian organizations I know of would work together more and not be so territorial over the same few acres, but is God using that as well?
Take Paul and Barnabas. We all know that they made a great team, but they just couldn't work together anymore. Despite their imperfections and possible bad decisions, God increased the amount of people that got reached because Paul went one direction and Barnabas went another.
Maybe the same thing happens today, not that I would encourage derision in any form. But maybe the many denominations and churches have been able to reach more... or maybe they've caused a schism wider than there should be.
I don't know. Seek God first--then worry about your opinion.
