Openly gay priest, welcoming congregation. Here’s who we are and what we stand for:
- We believe we have found an approach to God through the life and teachings of Jesus.
- We respect the faithfulness of other people who have other names for the way to God’s realm and acknowledge that their ways are true for them.
- We understand that the sharing of bread and wine in Jesus name is a meaningful way to experience the holy presence of God.
- We invite all people to participate in our community and worship life without insisting that they become like us.
- We know that the way we behave toward one another and toward other people is the fullest expression of what we believe.
- We find more grace in the search for understanding than we do in dogmatic certainty, more value in questioning than in absolutes.
- We strive for peace and justice among all people.
- We recognize that being followers of Jesus is costly and entails selfless love, conscientious resistance to evil, and renunciation of privilege.
