WE BELIEVE
GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS FOR EVERYONE
We believe it is impossible to love each other without a sense of mutual (equal) worth and respect for each other.
We Believe the scripture found in Romans 13:10 which read ”love worketh no ill to a neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law”
We believe the scripture found in 1st John 4:20 which reads “it is impossible to love God, whom
we’ve never seen and hate our brothers and sisters who we see everyday”.
We believe God is neither male nor female, God is spirit and spirit has no gender.
LIBERATION THEOLOGY
We embrace a liberation theology for all, a theology that frees the oppressed therefore:
- Not a male dominated hierarchy
- Not oppressive to women
- Not just European in scope
- Must relate to people of color and their various cultures around the world.
- Not oppressive to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
- Allows us to think and discern through human reason and experience.
- Not oppressive to Native Americans or their spirituality nor any other oppressive use of
scripture.
We believe in the teachings of Jesus but we do not dismiss all other faiths and beliefs as wrong or second to our way of believing.
THE GREATNESS OF GOD
We believe God is greater than any religion, denomination or school of thought
We believe God is spirit, alive and at work in the Moselm mosque, and the Jewish Synagogue, the Christian Church, and the Tribal ritual. God is everywhere present.
We believe the Bible and all great spiritual writings or guides must be read taking into consideration the times of the writings, the traditions practiced at the time and the fact that we have the right to question and examine all interpretation.
We believe a person’s belief system:
- Must be supportive of healthy self-acceptance;
- Must support spiritual growth.
- Must encourage physical, psychic, and mental health.
INVOLVED IN SOCIETY AFFAIRS
We Believe enlightenment and revelation are continuous and did not stop with the bible writers.
We believe in order to practice love we must be involved in the affairs of society, fight for social justice and provide for all according to need;
- Feeding the hungry
- Clothing the naked
- Providing education
- Visiting the sick and shut-in
- Visiting the imprisoned
- Housing the homeless
- Protecting and preserving human, animal, plant, and marine life.
- Consoling the bereaved
- Burying the dead and the many other ways that we might be of service to our human family
