GOD
I believe in God as an ideal, a Spirit, a guide,
but not as a tenable entity, a person, a being
nor as a form of power intervening in human life.
I believe that God, as Spirit, lives within each person
guiding them when they are available for direction.
.

JESUS
I call myself a Christian because I try to follow Jesus.
I believe that his teaching is the way of life, but
reject tales of his divinity, resurrection.
and the supernatural elements of the stories.
.

THE BIBLE
I value the Bible as a source of ancient wisdom,
but it is has been much modified
and adjusted to fit changing doctrines.
The Bible is more a political tract than God's word.
.

THE CHURCH
I believe in the church, as on the better pathway,
though presently fixated on personal salvation and power,
there is hope its course can be changed to a truer way,
when it accepts the Way of Jesus as central to its purpose,
not the worship and glorification of the gods of its invention.
.

ETERNAL LIFE
I have little belief in an interventional divinity.
I have no belief in post-mortal existence ,
but I do believe in a divine ideal, a purpose,
something eternal within humanity.
.

LIFE ITSELF
I came from nothing and brought nothing with me.
I go to nothing and can take nothing away,
but, maybe, whilst I am here and active,
I, in my poverty, can enrich another.
