John Wesley addresses the issue of schism within the Church, emphasizing that true schism is not merely a separation from a church but rather divisions that occur within a church community. He critiques the numerous debates surrounding schism, noting that they often lack a clear definition and fail to produce any real understanding or resolution. Wesley highlights the importance of unity in the body of Christ, warning against the dangers of division and the negative consequences that arise from a lack of love and care for one another. He urges believers to avoid unnecessary separations and to strive for peace and unity, as these are essential to the health of the Church and its witness to the world.
