OUR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION GOALS

The Religious Education Committee has adopted these goals for our program. 

We seek to:

- promote an appreciation and understanding of self and a sense of individual worth;

- encourage the ongoing search for truth and wisdom;

- affirm the worth of every individual and a respect for differences;

- instill the use of the democratic process in human relationships;

- inspire hope in a just and peaceful community of all people;

- affirm a reality beyond the individual which has been called variously God, Ultimate Reality, the Holy Life Force, the religious community or the Transcendent;
 
- strengthen a belief in the power of love to transform people;

- affirm our interdependence with the universe to develop a reverence for life, to work toward becoming caring stewards of the earth;

- support and nurture our own religious community.
