The following is by a person I've never met but is a 'friend' I've followed through the campus ministry circles that I was involved in for 20+ years. He has written several books and always has great resources and always invokes helpful and often provocative thoughts.
This "creed" seems appropriate in this season of the year...
A Creed for Christians
By Jim Burklo
God is Love, the cosmic creativity present everywhere and in everything,
Gently urging all toward the good.
To Love we raise our awestruck praise!
Jesus embodied the Love that is God.
He loved the poor, the sick, the outcast,
He loved the unpopular, and even his own enemies.
He loved so completely, he loved so dangerously,
That it cost him his life.
As Christians we aim to serve humbly, as he did,
Resurrecting his life of Love through communion with others.
The texts and traditions of Christianity give voice to our souls,
so that we may support each other in our quests of compassion.
Love is the measure of what is worth following,
And what is not, in all religions.
So we pray for a Holy Spirit of discernment
To express our faith afresh in new times and places. ?
