Here’s How You Can Help “Get the Word Out” About Christian Unity and/or this Christian Unity Prayer
·
First,
join the CUC, Christian Unity Conference, email discussion group. You’ll see the links in the Introduction to the Christian
Unity Prayer. In this way you can
actively participate in advancing our understanding of Christian unity in
general, and if you like, you can discuss the further creation and development
of the Christian Unity Prayer, itself.
The purpose is to discuss any Christian topic you want, especially ones
that might be important for unity in Jesus, and anything that helps build
bridges between Christian denominations and groups.
·
Next,
tell your friends about this website, especially Christian friends. Send it to every Christian in your address
book. Tell your pastor about it. Tell the deacons or elders, or other members
at your church about it. Send them an
email with the address, or just copy any or all of the prayer, and give them a
printed copy. It doesn’t hurt to tell
non-Christians about it, but only if you think they might be interested.
·
Post
a notice about it on any Christian mailing list, or send it to any Christian
newsgroup or Christian magazine of which you are a member or subscriber.
·
Important: do not “spam” anyone!!!
Send only to people, websites, newsgroups, mailing lists, or magazines
that you know, for sure, will be glad to hear an important Christian
message!! Do not send this
blindly to non-Christians you do not know!
And never send it as an attachment.
·
The
best general thing to send out is the “Important Christian Questions”
page. This lets people know what this
website and this mailing list are all about, and lets them decide for
themselves if they are interested in any of it or not, before they bother to
click on it. You can see and copy that
page at the following link, Important Christian
Questions .
If you are involved in a discussion about the
subject by email or on a newsgroup, you may want to send just one of the Prayer
Parts as commentary, all of which have been kept to a reasonably small size for
emailing or posting. You could instead
send only the address of the main page, and tell people what Part number to
look for. Or you may want to send just
a line or two of one of the Parts, and tell people what the address is if they
want to see the whole thing.
When you send any of these, copy what you want to
send and paste it into the body of your email so it won’t be sent as an
attachment. This is important because
people are afraid to open attachments.
If you have any difficulty figuring out how to do this, just contact us,
and we’ll be glad to help. We can be
reached at cuprayer@hotmail.com .

If
you are part of a Christian unity ministry, please, please, join the CUC
discussion group. You’ll see the links
in the Introduction to the
Christian Unity Prayer. We need
your input and your help, of all Christians interested in Christian unity and
especially those interested in the ministry.
We just think it would be great if all Christians interested in
Christian unity could, themselves, unite in discussion and prayer for Christian
unity on a continual basis.
There is no self-interest in this CUC email list
discussion group, either by any ministry, denomination, or group. We don’t own it, and no one derives income
from it. The list owner is graciously
allowing us to use it.
The CUC is just an excellent place for all
Christians, as well as Christian unity ministries, to let their own direction
and efforts be known, and to share ideas and insights with other Christians
that are already genuinely interested in Christian unity. (We don’t want to see spam to sell anything,
although we’re glad to hear about where to buy on-topic books if you quote from
them or tell us what they have to do with Christian unity). But all Christian ministries are strongly
encouraged to include information on their own ministry and links to
ministry websites in every post they make, and to take every opportunity to
tell the group all about their own service to the body of Christ.)
The CUPP is a freely available prayer, a combined
Christian unity effort in progress, intended to stimulate constructive
Christian conversation and to help us all go together to God in prayer, to
submit ourselves to His will for Christian unity. Also we would be happy to exchange links with you to your
Christian unity website, just contact us by email to cuprayer@hotmail.com . Remember, you are
welcome to copy any or all of the prayer and post it on your website, or use it
for any Christian purpose. Feel free to
link to the Prayer Main Page, or to any of the Prayer Parts. Also, if you don’t like any part of the
prayer, rewrite it as the Spirit leads you, and post your own version of the
prayer on your own website! Anything to
glorify Jesus is fine with us!!
And by all means, please let us hear from you!
Love in Jesus to All!
