- Doctrinal Differences: Disagreements over theological beliefs, biblical interpretations, and church practices can create divisions and make it difficult for Christians to work together.
- Denominational Divides: The existence of numerous Christian denominations, each with its traditions and hierarchies, can inhibit cross-denominational cooperation.
- Prioritizing Personal Agendas: When individual Christians or church leaders are more focused on advancing their ministry, influence, or preferred causes, it can undermine a spirit of unity.
- Lack of Trust: Past hurts, miscommunications and suspicions between Christians or Christian groups can erode the trust needed for effective collaboration.
- Cultural and Ethnic Barriers: Differences in cultural backgrounds, communication styles, and expectations can make it challenging for Christians from diverse populations to understand and work with one another.
- Competition for Resources: Christians may compete for limited financial resources, membership, or influence, leading to rivalries that obstruct cooperative efforts.
- Power Struggles: Conflicts over leadership, decision-making authority, and control of ministries or organizations can stifle cooperative work.
- Unwillingness to Compromise: A rigid, my-way-or-the-highway mentality among some Christians can prevent the compromises and concessions needed for successful joint initiatives.
