* CREED: The World Methodist Social Affirmation Leader: Created for God’s glory, the Church stands as God’s visible presence and hope in the world.

Together, let us proclaim our faith and participation in God’s dream for the world: We believe in God, creator of the world and of all people; and in Jesus Christ, incarnate among us, who died and rose again; and in the Holy Spirit, present with us to guide, strengthen, and comfort.

We rejoice in every sign of God's kingdom: in the upholding of human dignity and community; in every expression of love, justice, and reconciliation; in each act of self-giving on behalf of others; in all responsible use of the earth's resources.

We confess our sin, individual and collective, by silence or action: through the violation of human dignity based on race, class, age, sex, nation, or faith; through the misuse of power and exploitation of others because of greed and indifference; through the abuse of technology which endangers the earth and all life upon it.

We commit ourselves individually and as a community to the way of Christ: to take up the cross; to seek abundant life for all humanity; to struggle for peace with justice and freedom; to risk ourselves in faith, hope, and love, praying that God's kingdom may come. Amen. * - standing, if able
