• How should we regard believers whose doctrine is different?
• Can there be Christian unity without compromising truth?

For a younger audience who may have missed "Who Is My Brother?" Smith proposes a comprehensive five-fold fellowship:

Universal Fellowship: (The Family of Man)

Faith Fellowship: (Like Family)

"In Christ" Fellowship: (The Extended Family)

Conscience Fellowship: (Close Family)

Congregational Fellowship: (Immediate Family)"
