Values
Compassion
Compassion calls us to stand with others in their pain and suffering that together we may experience God's liberating and healing presence.
Hospitality
Hospitality compels us to welcome the stranger as equal into our world; to be genuinely open to difference, to share what we have and be willing to receive from the other.
Justice
In an increasingly global economy marked by inequality and injustice we are compelled to promote the right of all people to live with dignity and enjoy an equal share of the abundance of the world. We are called to make responsible choices that promote sustainable use of the goods and resources of the earth.
Respect
Today we acknowledge the interconnectedness of all creation and honour each person's uniqueness. We aim to reverence our world by promoting right relationships between ourselves, other people and the whole of creation.
The Faith View of Life
We believe that all of life has a sacred dimension to it. From time immemorial people have looked up to the heavens and felt their hearts drawn to praise God as creator of its wonder and beauty. Many people find God in the life-giving energy of the oceans, in the grandeur of sunsets, in the innocence of a child and the myriad ordinary events of life. We respond in faith and trust to this mysterious, generous God who loves every created being.
