Religion

Salvation is achieved through profound believe in God.

Politics

Social norms that assume different standards for women than for men in marriage are outdated and should be rejected. Laws in civil society should define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Church members should meet regularly in order to be accountable to each other about how each person was living the Christian life.
