As I said at your other comment:
welcome free spirit! A very astute question. Unity doesn’t require uniformity (thus, for example, the Western Rite in the Eastern Orthodox Church). What unity requires is Conformity. Which is a horse of a different color. I once likened this to the issue of the episcopal church’s understanding of autonomy. Autonomy can, in the most helpful, wholesome and healthy ways, be understood as “self governing.” That is the mutuality that different national/ethnic churches have in the Orthodox Church. One faith, expressed in culturally relevant and individual contexts. That is also supposed to be the understanding of the provinces in the Anglican Communion. It is an ancient and honored principle of the Church. However the episcopal church has chosen to understand autonomy as “a law unto themselves.” This has never been acceptable in the life of the Church.

I just read an article on CNN.com regarding unity in the Catholic Church without cultural uniformity (i.e., as Anglican congregations join while retaining their rites). The Catholic Church views this “homecoming” as the work of the Holy Spirit. I then wrote a post about the relationship of unity and doctrinal uniformity. In general terms, does unity require uniformity?
