Statement of Faith
We are unique human beings linked with all creation and gathered from diverse places to share a ministry faithfully, to raise questions hopefully, to work for justice lovingly.
In whom and in what do we believe?
We believe in God, eternal yet ever-moving one, who creates and is creating, who keeps covenant with human kind, who sets before us the ways of life and of death.
We believe in Jesus, the servant-advocate, who lived the way of dying/rising, who embodied justice and reconciliation, who, with authority, calls us to share this way and this embodying.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, sustaining presence and transforming power, who dwells amoung us in clarity and in mystery, who inspires us individually and corporately, who challenges, prods, emboldens.
We believe in the church, community of faith and caring, covenant and promise, which nurtures our pilgrimage and through which we are called to be witnesses to God's truth, love and justice.
We believe our believing affects our daily walking and talking, our doubting and struggling, our decisions and choice-making, our responses to persons and systems.
We intend in this community in these days to raise questions hopefully, to work for justice lovingly, to share a ministry faithfully, and, by God's grace, passionately!
