Religion

Through Jesus' death on the cross, and his resurrection, the power of evil in the world is broken.

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Social norms that assume different standards for women than for men in marriage are outdated and should be rejected.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.

Views

Every Church member should be seeking in various ways to renew and expand the opportunities for Christian conversation about the things that matter.
