The book at a glance
A short, theology-grade case for Christian unity, written for the lay reader who lives inside a divided household, a divided parish, or a divided family of faith. The prayer Jesus prayed the night before He died is still waiting for an answer. This book is one author's attempt to take that prayer seriously.
What is inside
- 126 pages of theology, personal story, and practical insight, rooted in John 17.
- An honest account of where denominational division actually comes from, and where it does not.
- Concrete paths toward unity that do not require any reader to leave the tradition that formed them.
Who it is for. Pastors, priests, theologians, students, and lay believers in mixed-tradition households, parishes, or marriages who want a serious read on Christian unity without the academic price tag.
Full description, 200 words
Father, May They Be One takes the most famous prayer in the Christian gospel, John chapter 17, and asks a simple question. What if the Church took it literally. Not as a wish. As a directive. Dr Enemona Emmanuel Adaji writes from inside that question. A scientist by training, a husband and father in real life, a Catholic by tradition who married into the Anglican Church, he has spent two decades living the friction this book is about. The chapters trace where Christian division actually started, why most of the splits do not survive serious examination, and what the daily work of unity looks like inside one household, one parish, and one city. There are no calls for any reader to abandon a tradition. There is a call to stop using tradition as a wall. The book is 126 pages. It is meant to be read in two evenings and returned to over a year. It is published by Grace and Heritage Press and is available in paperback, hardcover, and digital editions, including direct from the author at enemonaadaji.com.
