Statement of Nature
The elders and membership of the Lamb of God Community adopted
a basic 'Statement of Nature' in November 1981. This statement of
nature expresses the following:
- The Community is committed to building a Christian
environment for the support of family, religious and
single life. Acts 2. 42 - 47
The basis of this commitment is unity
with Christ Jesus showing itself in a desire to share our
lives and our resources. We believe that we are called to
build this environment wherever our Community is
established.
- The Community is an ecumenical Christian Community. Jn
15. 20-21
The Community is not a church and
requires its members to be practicing Christians in their
own denominations. We believe that Christians, in
acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus Christ, can share
their lives in covenant love, while working towards unity
through personal renewal and the renewal of their
Christian Traditions.
- The Community has a charismatic spirituality. 1 Cor 14.
1.
We believe that the gifts of the Holy
Spirit are given for the building of the Community.
- The Community is committed to spreading the Good News of
Jesus Christ. Matt 28. 19 - 20
We believe that we are called to
witness to the power of Jesus Christ wherever we are
called.
