God gives us the Holy Spirit, and when we respond, there is no limit to what the grace of God is able to do in a human life.
God calls for justice for those, who are oppressed by the powers of the day. Therefore Christians should be involved in political life.
Church decisions should be made as openly as possible, giving opportunities for all to contribute. It is important for all views to be heard and taken seriously, especially where Christians disagree.
