In 1974, when the first edition of this book was published, Dr. Ogbu Kalu (1942-2009) was a young,
\ndevout Presbyterian minister and scholar who believed that the unity of the Church of Nigeria was
\nnot only possible but necessary. Indeed, an ecumenical movement had seen a similar need for
\nunity and predicted that this unity would occur in December of 1965. The vision was to create not
\nmultiple churches of many denominations, but rather one complete, unified church composed of
\nAnglicans, Methodists, and Presbyterians. However, this was not to be, due to inner negotiations
\nbreaking down. Dr. Kalu thus took it upon himself to write a study about the impulses and
\narguments toward unity and why unity is the true intention of God. This second edition\u2019s
\npublication honors Dr. Kalu\u2019s call to unity, and it allows the modern reader to ponder what unity
\nmeans in the twenty-first century and the current Church of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
