1. We need to all speak a common language (English)
2. Our Prayer Books/Liturgy Books/all literature need to be the same and come from one bookstore.
3. Our Liturgy must be conducted in the same manner (example; Russian Orthodox sing Lord’s Prayer and Creed – All other churches have entire parish “say” it.
3. All prayers and Liturgy MUST BE uniformed (ex: Prayer to Holy Spirit – come and DWELL/LIVE/ABIDE in us – which is it). Also different churches make their collections at different times)
4. ALL Bishops AND Patriarchs need to work as ONE (One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church)
