This section of our web guide is for websites relating to the unification of the Christian churches, whether Protestant with Catholic, or the unification of denominations and groups within either.
This is not the category for the Unification Church founded by Sun Myung Moon.
This category highlights websites about movements, organizations, and denominations that promote or result from the unification of Christian churches and traditions. These may include ecumenical initiatives, church union efforts, and united churches formed by merging multiple Christian denominations that cannot be readily classified within a single historic tradition.

Formed in 1963 through the efforts of a group of Roman Catholics, the organization met to equip local leadership for ecumenical ministry. In 1969, they invited leaders of other Christian organizations to join, and today the national ecumenical officers of the churches provide the oversight of the workshop, which is planned by national and local committees, which offers both denominational and ecumenical sessions. Audio and video recordings, schedules, brochures, and other resources are featured.

Unity Creed explores how the historic creeds of the church serve as a foundation for Christian unity, examining the beliefs that bind believers together across denominational lines. The Heavenly Network, in partnership with The Christian Chain, developed this network of Church Creed and Confession sites to make the historic faith of the Church clearly explained, presented, and accessible. The site is a scholarly, non-denominational reference site dedicated to the study of the Unity Creed.

Would it Be Feasible for Some of the Christian Churches to Re-Merge?
Hosted on Bible Analysis, a platform devoted to exploring the depths of the Bible through careful study and thoughtful discussion, this article discusses the feasibility of re-merging churches for a pooling of resources, talents, and expertise, allowing for more efficient ministry, outreach, and support for people in need. The main argument presented is the call for Christian unity as expressed by Jesus in John 17:20-23. Additionally, fragmentation has created division and confusion.
