In looking at the tapestry that is the body of Christ think of an ice cream shop. According to Barna there are 245 Christian denominations in the US today. We are all dynamic and diverse in our flavor texture and color. Some of us may be vanilla and others might be rocky road or mint chocolate chip. So if the body is the ice cream shop then The Zion Project is a banana split with extra nuts for sure. Through our common relationship and the bond of unity we come together to make a difference in our neighborhoods. When we manifest the love of God we can truly make an impact on those around us.
We may be different stylistically or in theology but we all worship the same God.
Romans 12:5
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.

It is really interesting how much we all have in common. Evangelicals really aren't that far off and the differences are often made into bigger deals than they are. The mature believers tend to be clear about their differences and listen, not totally agree, with others. In other world religions you are killed, shunned, or thrown out for your opinions.
