God calls for justice for those, who are oppressed by the powers of the day. Therefore Christians should be involved in political life.
The ultimate goal to be attained is not only to be saved from something. The purpose God has is to be saved to something. In modern culture the ability to make decisions and choose our own path in life has extremely high value. But through the faith we voluntarily surrender to God in love and joy. All Christians need to be familiar with the Bible, that contains a wide variety of literature, including history, law, poetry, gospels, letters, polemic, stories and apocalyptic visions, and try to immerse themselves in it.
Pacifists should be honored because they do not allow us to become complacent about war and violence.
Every individual should try to be open to others and willing to be changed. Therefore, community members should meet regularly in order to open their hearts, share their knowledge, thoughts and experience.
