Manifesto

I believe in one church.

I believe in an inter-racial and unbiased church of many nations.

I believe in one church of many traditions.

I believe in one church not hemmed in by history or by man-made borders.

 

I believe in a God for whom his pallet of skin colours reflects his love of diversity.

I believe in God-given racial difference.

I believe in one creator God who made all humankind equal.

I believe in Christ’s one church that reflects our maker's love of difference.

 

I do not believe in uniformity.

 

I believe in the Christ’s common language of love for one another, for neighbours and for enemies that transcends local dialects.

I believe in one sundry collection of priests who are called by Christ to serve one God together, saved by His one sacrifice once and for all time.

I believe in the promise of one resurrected church drawn from all nations, from every generation to meet her bridegroom, Jesus Christ.

I believe in one eternal wedding feast at a table prepared by God which features everything from the finest vegetable samosas to the richest steam puddings.

I believe in one extravagant Father who has built one massive mansion with many rooms so all his people can come and dwell together.

 

I believe in God's Kingdom come.
