23 Cf. The strangely undeveloped comment: ‘What allows us to look expectantly for agreement among those who do not worship God is not that we have a common morality based on autonomous knowledge of autonomous nature, but that God's kingdom is wider than the church.’ Christian Existence Today, (Durham: Labyrinth Press, 1988), 17Google Scholar. Similar observations elsewhere are generally not integrated into his overall argument. ‘Unity comes not from the assumption that all people share the same nature, but that we share the same Lord. Though certainly the fact that we have a common creator provides a basis for some common experience and appeals.’ A Community of Character, op. cit., 106.
