Creating Change
Love One Another
We know from Holy Scriptures and from the life and teachings of Jesus, that we are called to love God and to love our neighbors near and far. God’s intent is that people will live in harmony, caring for one another. The face of God is mirrored in each person and everyone is gifted and blessed by the Creator. We are called to work toward a vision of community that recognizes the worth of each person in God’s eyes and assures that all people can contribute their talents and have their needs met. We hold no illusions that if we work hard enough we can make the whole world perfect ourselves, but God loved us and so we love and serve our neighbors.
The resources here help us think together about creating communities of change, community as God intended. We encourage you to share resources you have found valuable. Please e-mail us with suggestions.
