The faith should be based on the Bible, but also on reason, tradition, and personal experience.
The diversity inside the Church should be respected and supported. Open debate within the Church on certain political and social issues should be encouraged.
Just as a human body contains different limbs and organs that depend on each other, so members of a Christian society should be close and caring enough to feel each other's pain and delight.
