If a Christian Community is to be authentically part of its locality, its core values must be responsive to the local context. At the same time they should focus on major universal values and resonate with core Christian values so they are not lost or stuck in the context. The attempt below was based on these premises. On reflection this group looks pretty unversal.
Inclusive: welcoming rich, poor, straight, gay
Journeying: seeking to understand God and ourselves
Centred on the Margins: sensing that in the quirky and in the forgotten, God's truth is more apparent
Founded on Jesus: Confident that he journeys with us and knows the end of the journey.
