I actually had to go look this up as it was entirely new to me. I came across it in TS's comment:
... Christian unity is personal for me, having a non-Catholic wife, but the better reason to care about Christian unity is for Christ's sake. The irenic Julie Davis puts it beautifully in her review ...
