"Doing good works in imitation of Jesus, and in his name, is the driving force that motivates some young people involved in many efforts. The most obvious factor that highly diverse denominations have in common, of course, is that they all recognize the divinity of Jesus Christ and advocate that people should follow his teachings. Also, each in its own way, the vast majority of Christian groups try to better their individual communities. Most often this is accomplished via such charitable efforts as fighting poverty and hunger, providing medical care for sick people, defending religious freedom, and/or aiding in local disaster relief"-- Provided by publisher.
