To be a visible and prophetic presence in the church and in the world; To steadfastly proclaim the radically inclusive love of God; To be open to, and celebrate differences; To honor thinking for oneself; To faithfully work for the inclusion of, and justice for, all people, regardless of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, ethnicity or national origin, or any other particular element of a person’s total humanity, and for all of God’s creation.
