What is our calling?
As a people journeying together we affirm our calling under God to:
- preach Christ the crucified and risen one and confess him as Lord
- bear witness to the unity of faith and life in Christ, rising above cultural, economic, national and racial boundaries
- engage in fearless prophetic ministry in relation to social evils which deny God’s active will for justice and peace
- act with God alongside the oppressed, the hurt and the poor
- accept responsibility for the wise use and conservation of the finite resources of this earth for the benefit of all
- recognise, treasure and use the gifts of the Spirit given to all God’s people for ministering
- live a creative, adventurous life of faith, characterised by openness, flexibility, hope and joy.
