Bible Studies: 14 Church Unity

I'm teaching my Bible Study class on the 28 Fundamental Beliefs of Adventists again, so I'll be continuing the series on apokalupto as well. This one is very short, as is the doctrinal statement, but very important. You can look up scripture references at Crosswalk.com, and the 'answers' are at the bottom. As always, comments and constructive criticism are appreciated, since these studies are a work in progress.
