  4. The first Epistle of St Clement to the Corinthians Global Unity • ‘From the Church of God which sojourns at Rome, to the Church of God sojourning at Corinth’ • ‘Day and night you were anxious for the whole brotherhood, that the whole number of God's elect might be saved’ • ‘The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, and with all everywhere that are the called of God’

  5. The first Epistle of St Clement to the Corinthians Global Unity • ‘Because of our recent series of unexpected misfortunes and set-backs… there has been some delay in us turning out attention to the causes of dispute in your community’ • Your disunity however… has brought upon us all discouragement and distress

  6. The first Epistle of St Clement to the Corinthians Local Unity • ‘But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary – 1 Cor. 12:20-22 ’ • ‘Let us take our body for an example. The head is nothing without the feet, and the feet are nothing without the head, the very smallest members of our body are necessary and useful to the whole body. But all work harmoniously together, and are under one common rule for the preservation of the whole body’
