Preamble

Together, as Sisters and Brothers in Christ, we affirm our faith in God our Creator and Father, in Jesus Christ our Savior, and in the Holy Spirit, our Guide and Guard.  We are called upon by Christ to love the Lord our God with all our souls, all our minds, and all our strength, and to love each other and our neighbors as ourselves.  To this end, we commit ourselves t0 follow these commandments in our daily lives through this covenant which we have established together.
