We covenant with each other,
as followers of Jesus,
To gather faithfully to worship God who gives us life,
To study the meaning of our faith,
To share our joys and sorrows,
To take the time to know and be known by each other,
To give unselfishly of our time and money,
To translate the words of faith into acts of compassion & mercy,
To work for peace in our troubled world,
To take a stand for human rights,
To actively affirm the equality and dignity of all God's children,
To strive for social and economic justice,
remembering that in a world of limited resources, those with more must consume less
so that those with little or nothing may have enough.
This covenant we will honor,
God being the source of our strength.

St. Paul's policy on the use of inclusive language We affirm the right of each individual to worship in a manner that promotes their personal relationship with God. St. Paul's is committed to the use of inclusive language in our corporate worship. We are all made in God's image, therefore we avoid language that addresses God solely by one gender in our sermons, liturgies, music and prayers. We expect our pastor, preachers and worship leaders to use scriptural texts and liturgical language that reflects the whole of God's creation, and to beware of words that hurt. We earnestly avoid gender language when referring to people in general. For example, we would read the statement, "We are all the sons of God" as "We are all the children of God" or "We are all the sons and daughters of God." We acknowledge that we have different understandings about the meaning of inclusive language and we encourage ongoing discussion of such issues in classes & bible study. |
