A CREED FOR TODAY

I BELIEVE in one world, full of riches meant for everyone to enjoy.

I BELIEVE in one race, the family of mankind, learning how to live together by the hard way of self-sacrifice.

I BELIEVE in one life, exciting and positive, which enjoys all beauty, integrity and science; uses the discipline of work to enrich society; harmonises with the life of Jesus, and develops into total joy.

I BELIEVE in one morality:

• LOVE – the holiness of sharing the sorrow and joys of others; of bringing together people as true friends, and of working to get rid of the root causes of poverty, injustice, ignorance and fear.
• LOVE – the test of all my thoughts and motives.
• LOVE – guiding me; controlling me; assuring me of God’s forgiveness, and giving me confidence under his spirit’s control.

I BELIEVE in Jesus whose life, death and resurrection prove God’s everlasting love of the world; who combines in himself life, love, truth, humanity, reality and God; who saves, guides and unites all people who follow his way.

I BELIEVE in the purpose of God to unite in Christ everything spiritual or secular; to bring about constructive revolution in society, individuals and nations; and to establish world government under his fatherly direction.
