Religion
The Covenant is the means of grace by which the relationship with God is accepted and then sustained. It is therefore not so much about getting in to a relationship with God as it is about staying in it.
Politics
The commitment of individual Christians to work for social and political change should be recognized as a fully legitimate form of Christian discipleship.
Views
Every member of a Christian Church should be delicate to other people and use appropriate language while communicating with others.
