AFFIRM our faith in the reconciling power of Jesus Christ;

WORK for justice, mutual respect, the participation of all, the stewardship of resources, and the care for Creation;

SUPPORT the life and work of the church through prayer, worship, the giving of our time and talents, and the living out of our faith in our daily lives; and

CALL upon the power of the risen Christ to help us overcome our divisions and make us instruments of peace.
