I believe in God,
One Presence and One Power,
Who speaks to me
..........personally, as a still, small voice within,
..........transpersonally, as the power of Omnipotent Goodness, and
..........historically, through teachers and prophets of all faiths
Wherever consciousness arises in God’s vast Cosmos. .
I believe in Jesus the Christ,
understood and reinterpreted through time as
the man of Nazareth, the Wayshower,
who calls people to serve all God’s children with compassion,
And in Christ Jesus, the crucified and risen Lord,
who demonstrates that all life is eternal
and points to the imago Dei in every sentient being.
..
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the God-energy which empowers the Cosmos to be,
inspires creativity and understanding,
and leads people by holy wisdom
to discover the many paths to Divine Truth.
I believe in the equality of all God’s children,
in the rich diversity of their physical and spiritual expressions.
I believe in the unity of purpose
which gathers a community of people
to experience the power of affirmative prayer and
share the challenges and celebrations along life's path;
I believe in the communion of soul growth
by which all will one day participate,
And the eternal possibility for Oneness with God
through an endless, innovative union of joy and love.
..
Blessings and peace, divine order and refreshing inspiration, healing power and prosperity, wholeness of life and love eternal will accompany us now and forevermore, through the power of the Christ within. Amen.
