Sorry, I am only in the 3rd or 2nd grade then. I am not disagreeing that the true form of unity is different than the true form of conformity. As I conceive of this, it seems we are talking about motivations, as Archaea said. My question was whether or not there is a difference in appearance and, if not, then perhaps we would be better off not being too quick to criticize others for what we perceive as conformity when, to them and God it might be unity.

Actual conformity is another matter, as I am made in God's image and nobody has license to try to make me into their idea of something or other.
