Sharing in Community of Christ

WE SHARE… a Sacred Story

The sacred story is the unfolding drama of God’s reconciling work in the world. This story reveals God as the One who calls humanity into relationship, and who seeks the well-being of all creation. This revelation, first made known in the books of the Hebrew Bible, continues in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus Christ, the incarnation of God. This library of books called the Bible roots the church in the sacred story and nurtures and informs the Community of Christ’s faith, identity, and mission to the world. For more information about how we interpret the sacred story found in scripture, see the statement titled “Scripture in Community of Christ” found on page 63 and online at: www.CofChrist.org /scripture-in-community-of-Christ. 16
