We believe in God, Creator of the world: and in Jesus
Christ, the Redeemer of creation. We believe in the Holy
Spirit, through whom we acknowledge God’s gifts, and we
repent of our sin is misusing these gifts to idolatrous
ends.
We
affirm the natural world as God’s handiwork and dedicate
ourselves to its preservation, enhancement, and faithful
use by humankind.
We
joyfully receive for ourselves and others the blessings
of community, sexuality, marriage, and the family.
We
commit ourselves to the rights of men, women, children,
youth, young adult, the aging, and people with
disabilities; to improvement of the quality of life; and
to the rights and dignity of racial, ethnic, and
religious minorities.
We
believe in the right and duty of persons to work for the
glory of God and the good of themselves and others and
in the protection of their welfare in so doing; in the
rights of property as a trust from God, collective
bargaining, and responsible consumption; and in the
elimination of economic and social distress.
We
dedicate ourselves to peace throughout the world, to the
rule of justice and law among nations, and to individual
freedom for all people of the world.
We
believe in the present and final triumph of God’s Word
in human affairs and gladly accept our commission to
manifest the life of the gospel in the world. Amen.
