The Declaration
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." — Micah 6:8
Preamble
The Church does not exist to win the arguments of its age. It exists to bear witness to Jesus Christ — crucified, risen, and reigning — and to love God and neighbor until he comes. Yet every age presses its own questions upon the people of God, and ours is no exception. Questions about who counts as fully human. About the protection of children. About nation, power, and the Kingdom of God. About when to speak and when to listen. About truth, and the line between conviction and heresy.
This book is one attempt to answer those questions faithfully — plainly where the gospel is plain, and humbly where faithful Christians still disagree. What follows is not a new creed. It stands beneath the historic confession of the Church catholic, summarized in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds, and under the authority of Holy Scripture. It is a declaration of what we believe these ancient confessions require of us now.
We write as members of one body, across traditions. We invite you to read, to test everything against Scripture, and to hold fast to what is good.
