Social Action and Creation Care
Three of the five marks of mission are as follows:
3. To respond to human need by loving service
4. To transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation
5. To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the earth
We seek to respond to these obligations through listening, loving, and blessing.
At present our members are actively involved in
We are committed to welcoming and including all people, regardless of ethnicity, culture, sexuality and sexual identity. We are clumsy and fallible and sometimes slip up in our actions, words and attitudes. We are on a journey, not at the destination. Please forgive us when we make mistakes.
