For the sense of brotherhood was strong

P202

Churches sacrificially shared their finances with poorer churches. Churches sent greetings and letters to one another. Teachers traveled freely among the congregations, and all believers had the responsibility to offer hospitality to traveling Christians and preachers. Believers from all churches were to pray for one another and love one another; they were to view themselves as a worldwide brotherhood that transcended all cultural and racial boundaries.
