Written by John Wesley (1703-1791), an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who was a leader of the Methodism revival movement.
What would not every lover of God and his [or her] neighbor do, what would [they] not suffer, to remedy this sore evil, to remove contention from the children of God, to restore or preserve peace among them? What but a good conscience would [they] think too dear to part with, in order to promote this valuable end? And suppose we cannot “make (these) wars to cease in all the world,” suppose we cannot reconcile all the children of God to each other, however let [us] do what [we] can, let [us] contribute, if it be but two mites toward it.
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. [Ephesians 4:1-3]
