Well Pow, if we are able to reason together and agree to disagree and compromise on issues this typically improves our overall witness and guarantees we don't make mountains out of marginal issues.

And so there is an order that emerges from us lovingly disagreeing with those with whom we are in conflict with.

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."
