This group is for people of all faiths who believe Spirit calls them to
take Peaceful, Legal, Democratic action in full accordance with the sacred
texts in the cause of world peace and service to the Creator, to Christ,
and the People.
We have a strong spiritual emphasis on both the nature of & solution for
problems confronting humanity, yet recognize spirituality may unify or
divide. In the interest of actually DOing something, as opposed to hours
of endless debate & ineffectiveness, it's important we agree to proceed
from these shared fundamental truths;
1) We are for peace.
2) We are interfaith, using the approach described by the Lakota Sioux
concept of the Sacred Hoop, in which Creator spoke to all peoples, and
all are 'saveable' thru the teachings in their sacred texts--as long as they
acknowledge other sacred texts. God's Word must be treated as sacred--
whenever & wherever He/She chooses to speak.
When God spoke to this group or that group over time & space, our
responsibility as God-fearing & God-loving servants is to look for His/Her
presence in other sacred books and oral traditions in exactly the manner
Jesus instructed--without judging or condemning, and actively seeking
knowledge of the narrow gate thru which we recognize His/Her word,
wherever it be found. Only if all sacred texts & traditions are viewed in this way can we manifest the kingdom of heaven on earth, and walk the sacred path of peace.
3) Salvation will come only through God--preferably (from both God's standpoint & ours) thru His/Her Words & Spirit motivating OUR actions, done in full accordance with love, mercy, and God's Word. Therefore, we use the guidance available in the sacred books as parameters for action--peaceful, legal, democratic action.
4) The 'Antichrist' is not superhuman. Only an extremely powerful, egocentric man, whom God will defeat through His/Her word and spirit, & the courage & love of His/Her servants.
