CHAPTER
06
I will maintain Christian ideals in all my relationships with others: my family and neighbours, my colleagues and fellow Salvationists, those to whom and for whom I am responsible, and the wider community.
IN THIS CHAPTER •
We are made for community. Relationships and the restoration of broken relationships are central to the Christian faith.
•
Our relationships are to be ‘right’ – marked by love, harmony, wholeness and unity – with an understanding that all people have dignity and worth because they are created in God’s image.
•
Our divine gift of human sexuality demands respect.
•
When there is difference or disagreement, we are to listen, explore and seek to understand. Difference is to be covered with love.
