Who We Are
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
That human life has become through sin, and one of sin's consequences is suffering. |
|
That Christ bears our grief, carries our sorrows, and heals our brokenness in body and spirit. |
|
That in order to live fully, now and forever, we must have a personal faith in Jesus as Savior. |
|
That we are called to personal salvation and a life of thankful and obedient response |
Our confession has at least the following implications:
|
Christ clearly teaches the sanctity of life, no matter how severe the disabling condition. |
|
Christ's example and the law of love demand that we compassionately respond to the needs of persons who have disabilities and to their families; we must walk together in our suffering. |
|
We must remove any architectural, attitudinal or communication barriers that impede the message of salvation or hinder the participation of any person in the life of the church. |
|
We must enable the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of all persons so they may respond obediently to God's call of discipleship. |
|
We must make public the gifts of people whom society defines as disabled, so they may participate mutually in our interdependent family. |
