How can Christians share a spirit of unity and love despite having different views on certain practices and issues?

What do you want to be remembered for after you die?
Pray (Eph. 4) that God will help you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
