The public face of Christianity in America today bears little connection to

the historic faith of our ancestors. It represents even less our own faith as

Christians who continue to celebrate the gifts of our Creator, revealed and

embodied in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Heartened by

our experience of the transforming presence of Christ’s Holy Spirit in our

world, we find ourselves in a time and place where we will be no longer

silent. We hereby mark an end to our silence by making the following


affirmations:

As people who are joyfully and unapologetically Christian, we pledge

ourselves completely to the way of Love. We work to express our love, as

Jesus teaches us, in three ways: by loving God, neighbor, and self.

(Matt 22:34-40 // Mk 12:28-31 // Lk 10:25-28; Cf. Deut 6:5; Lev. 19:1


We be the oilers and herbers !!!
