Creed of the Revitalizing
Ministry
We hold the following tenets
to be true:
-
That the Revitalizing Ministry is open to any
person who wishes to seek spiritual enlightenment, regardless of race,
culture, or personal religious convictions.
-
That the Revitalizing Ministry believes that
the way to God is a personal path that each person embarks on in his own
way.
-
That the Revitalizing Ministry believes that
free interchange of religious ideas or beliefs can bring about better understandings
of oneself, one's family, groups, mankind, plants, animals, and other life
forms, as well as a better understanding of the world.
-
That the Revitalizing Ministry believes that
understanding of the spiritual side of life, including spirits, souls,
ghosts, and abstracts such as "the spirit of play" are necessary to the
understanding of God as a Whole, of which all things play a part.
-
That the Revitalizing Ministry believes that
people who are hungry, homeless, or otherwise pressured with burdens or
problems are often not receptive to spiritual consciousness, and therefore
the Ministry wishes to do what it can to bring relief to such problems.
-
That the Revitalizing Ministry believes that
freedom to express religious opinion is basic to any spiritual growth.
That freedom of speech, the right to speak and be heard, is essential to
spiritual development. While we do not believe in mixing Church and State,
we recognize that the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United
States of America is our guarantee that our religious work can continue
uninterrupted, and pray that the First Amendment can long endure.
-
That the Revitalizing Ministry holds that people
of different faiths can live together in harmony, provided they respect
each other's right to have their own point of view.
-
That the Revitalizing Ministry will be a Ministry
in the commonly understood way, serving the community with those ceremonies
normally considered part of the activities of a Church, such as Marriage
Ceremonies or confessionals where we may give absolution, as well as gathering
people together for Pastoral Guidance.
Furthermore, we of the Revitalizing Ministry
believe that codes of right and wrong are essentially moral codes, written
across the span of time by different groups and cultures, and were made
to solve the social problems of the times. That the highest code would
be an Ethical Code, not a moral one, although it could include all or part
of any past or present moral code.
We suggest you listen well to the
quiet sounds, the whisper of the trees, or the Angel who speaks to you
in your dreams, because before you can truly understand God you first must
hear what all life has to say.
