Tribal differences exist everywhere. Look at Belgium, where tribal differences threaten to tear in twain the capital of "United Europe". Tribal differences existed long before the Europeans ruled over Africa, and were in large part the reason Europeans <em>could</em> colonize Africa. If there had been cohesion, there would not have been colonization. Arab Slavers bought from African tribes who had conquered tribes. The Maasai of Kenya make war on their neighbors because they believe God gave them cattle to be theirs and theirs alone. Thus anyone else who has a cow has obviously stolen it. God confused the understanding of Man, and only God can restore it. Just as Belgium, Germany, Italy, Holland, Britain, and even America made tracks all over Africa, the same happens in Christian churches. Where there is little in common, the bonds that strengthen us fail. Divide and conquer, hardly a new concept, applies to the Church as well as the State. What “natural cohesion”?
