I think you've worded it well enough. It's ridiculous any way you phrase it.

Is there a question here?
There is no unity outside of what the Holy Bible states!
There can be:
NO MARY WORSHIP (catholicism)
NO DENYING THE HOLY GHOST'S POWER (Baptists)
NO CLAUSE REQUIRING SPEAKING IN TONGUES for salvation (United Penticostal International, Apostolic)
Types of Jesus other than the one that lived, died and was raised again (Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons)
NO PAYMENT FOR SINS OTHER THAN CHRIST'S (catholic, mormon, and others)
The ecumenical movement is SIN~!!!
We cannot throw out the differences and 'just come together on the common ground"
The differences are vitally important. As important as eating a healthy meal and eating a meal made from beautifully prepared, juicy and expensive, but, spoiled, meat, seasoned with the deadliest poisons known to man!

Unity right now is obtainable. Their are too many differences between the Churches that cannot be ignored.
False unity would be disastrous for the World Council of Churches. The Catholic and Orthodox Churches, have their traditions and other christians thave theirs. These cannot be ignored.

Christians cannot fault the stated aim of The World Council of Churches - a fellowship of churches which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the scriptures, and therefore seek to fulfill together their common calling to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Unfortunately unity is over-ridden by uniformity.

Pray the prayer Jesus prayed before going to the cross. That is also unity in faith with Messianic Jews.

You are barking up the wrong tree with me, friend.
I want nothing whatsoever to do with that humanist and secular group..
From the Anglican "Affirmation of St. Louis" (1977)
Non-Involvement with Non-Apostolic Groups:
We recognize that the World Council of Churches, and many national and other Councils adhering to the World Council, are non-Apostolic, humanist and secular in purpose and practice, and that under such circumstances, we cannot be members of any of them. We also recognize that the Consultation of Church Union (COCU) and all other such schemes, being non-Apostolic and non-Catholic in their present concept and form, are unacceptable to us, and that we cannot be associated with any of them.

Why only in the English speaking world? And Jesus knows who will be united.
