Unity Statement |
PSWD
District Conference, 10/13/2007 |
| On this 300th anniversary of the
founding of the Church of the Brethren, we remember the words of Jesus: |
| "Let me give you a new
command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one
another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples
- when they see the love you have for each other." (John
13: 34, 35; The Message) |
| Recognizing we are a
living peace church, and that God is constantly revealing, we commit to
humble ourselves, and to engage in the tension of community necessary
for new birth. |
| Not focusing on our
differences, but in the spirit of love and acceptance, we choose to
focus on Christ. |
| We purpose to remain open,
as we listen to one another and to the Holy Spirit, working in love to
mutually support and encourage our various ministries. |
