The unity of the church remains a priority task for all Christians. The Holy Trinity constitutes the inner principle of every ecclesial communion. The relationship between the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is a gift and a task for the community of believers. The unity of the church is rooted in the Scriptures. The dialogue board specifically highlights the high priestly prayer of Jesus and the Lord’s Prayer as a biblical base for the ecumenical activity of the church. Early Christian koinonia is an example of unity to which divided Christians should strive. Despite the lack of full communion, the Churches and Christian communities today can grow in spiritual unity through prayer and daily life, becoming witnesses of reconciliation and love in a divided world..

Jedność Kościoła pozostaje priorytetowym zadaniem dla podzielonych chrześcijan. Wewnętrzną zasadę każdej eklezjalnej komunii stanowi Trójca Święta. Relacja wzajemnej miłości Ojca, Syna i Ducha Świętego jest darem i zadaniem dla wspólnoty wierzących. Jedność Kościoła jest zakorzeniona w Piśmie Świętym. Komisja dialogowa w sposób szczególny akcentuje modlitwę arcykapłańską Chrystusa oraz modlitwę Pańską jako bazę biblijną dla działalności ekumenicznej Kościoła. Wczesnochrześcijańska koinonia jest przykładem jedności, ku której podzieleni chrześcijanie powinni dążyć. Pomimo braku pełnej komunii Kościoły i Wspólnoty chrześcijańskie już dzisiaj mogą wzrastać w duchowej jedności poprzez modlitwę i codzienne życie, stając się świadkami pojednania i miłości w podzielonym świecie.
