Intamacy is clearly personal, and unity is cleary corporate...can they work together?
Intamcy with God is a nessesity for unity of the body.
Take for example Police and their motorcycles. There are four cops on four motorcycles. They have the same desination, they same method of getting there, the same uniform, the same boss, infact they have the same make and model of motorcylcles aswell. Yet they are on their own individual motorcycle. If you take away their personal motorcycle, you take away their intamacy, by taking away their intamacy you take away their ability to work together as a corrporate body.
Another word picture is shooting stars. One shooting star is amazing in itself, but a meteor shower is even more amazing...but you cant have a unified shower without each intamate star.
There must be intamacy with God before there is unity in the body.

I would propose that in order for true and lasting unity (read Authentic Christian Community) there is required corporate intimacy. Intimacy with God, personally - yes, that's a good start. But intimacy with one another AND with God leads to community in unity. That means more that staring at the back of someone's head once a week on Sunday.
