The unity of the church is to be a reflection of the unity of the one God upon which the church is built. The ideal (unity) and the real (division) do not always match up in the life of the church. A biblical theology of unity reveals a richer and deeper understanding of unity than mere uniformity, but it also holds out the goal of visible unity towards which Christians should aspire. The model of church unity presented in Scripture is a unity-in-diversity which protects it on one side from an over-reliance on human hierarchies but also from too great of an emphasis upon human autonomy... [Unity is being] bound to God and to one another by the gospel (Richard Lints).

I'm reminded of Narnia. There were NO humans save the children. There were people yes... but not human. Yet they were redeemible by Aslan (aka Christ) as were the Nanians (the talking animals, centaur, phoenix, etc). What makes EdenAgain different?

It
could on a world like EdenAgain where we are placing other races, but
obviously not on earth since there aren't other nonhuman races here.
