Preserving the unity of the Christian community.

All four documents stress communal unity and order — e.g. Ignatius repeatedly insists on obedience to bishop/elders to keep the church one, Polycarp urges peace and concord in the Philippian congregation, the Didache gives rules for orderly communal life and handling itinerant leaders, and the Roman letter to Corinth likewise seeks to keep relations and discipline between churches from fracturing.
