If we can't even get along amongst ourselves...

So I found this news story on Yahoo today and it just made me so angry. If, as both sides say, the church is shared under a "status quo" relationship, why do they need to fight about who gets to use it? Can't they just make up a schedule that says "Armenians get the church from 8am to 10am and the Greeks get it from 11am to 1pm"?
I understand not wanting others to interfere with what you're doing, but this is just ridiculous. We need to find what similarities we have and cling to them rather than letting petty ethnic or political differences divide us. We all serve the same God and we need to honor that rather than living with our eyes fixed on our differences. We are here to bring others to Christ, not to tear each other down. We need to unite under the banner of Christ's love, not focus on differences.
