About Me
I believe in God, the Creator and Giver of Life...
who is One and unchanging...
who has many names...
whom I have experienced in many ways...
I believe in Jesus the Christ…
who is Lord and Redeemer...
who came to teach us about God and God's love...
who reached out to the marginalized and preached the Kingdom of God...
who was both Human and Divine but never claimed to be God...
who by His Life and Death taught us how to live and how to face death...
who by His Resurrection and Ascension taught us that life never ends...
I believe in the Holy Spirit, another expression and experience of God...
who was God at the beginning, is now, and will be through the ages...
who sustains us with strength, hope, grace, and love...
I believe God is present in all that is natural throughout the Universe...
but is larger than the Universe and cannot be contained by the Universe...
and that the Divine and the scientific coexist...
Because God's peace, love, and grace belong to all Peoples...
I believe in Humanity's inherent goodness...
and I believe that God’s gifts cannot be claimed by a single one or group...
I believe Earth will become Heaven when Humanity realizes that it carries a Spark of the Divine...
I believe in the Community of Saints, in the Church Universal, in the power of individual and community prayer, in Sacraments and Tradition, and in the Divine Inspiration of the Scriptures...
I believe that these are merely words and cannot fathom to even remotely identify or define the fluidity, energy, and being that is God and God’s works...
AMEN
