This is the introductory Kung quote in the first chapter.
Spero unitatem ecclesiarum: I hope for the unity of the churches.
Spero pacem relgiounum: I hope for peace among religions.
Spero communitatem nationum: I hope for community among the nations.
Where does the strength of my hope come from? For me personally, as for millions of religious people throughout the world, the basis of my hope is that utterly trust which is called faith: 'In Te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in aeternum. 'In you, Lord, I have hoped, I shall never be confounded' (Theology for the Third Millennium, 173).
Herman Harring, Hans Kung Breaking Through, p 3

Perhaps we already live in a condition of Indestructible Unity!!
And perhaps Christianity is a source of division--and always has been -- because it is based on a drive to total power and contol! See for instance:

Plus this essay on the dreadful politics & "culture" by the separative ego and collections of separative egos.
