Commitment Three

Our Church consistently teaches about equality, freedom from violence, respectful relationships and the value of every person.

You are all God’s children through faith in Christ Jesus. All of you who were baptised into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

(Galatians 3:26-28) [6]

As Christians, we believe all people are created in the image of God. All are precious, all are equally loved, and all should have the opportunity to thrive according to their God-given potential. We communicate what we believe in words and actions. This commitment addresses primarily the former: how we teach the Bible and worship together. The Bible is the foundation of our Christian teaching to all ages and stages, and our Prayer Book, hymns and songs are the foundation of our liturgical life. Each

provide good resources for preventing and responding to domestic and family violence. Care is needed in the use of the Bible, in order to prevent its misuse and distortion.
