Reflection on the Statement of Faith

Metropolitan Community Churches is one chapter in the story of the Church, the Body of Christ. We are people on a journey, learning to live into our spirituality, while affirming our bodies, our genders, our sexualities. We don’t all believe exactly the same things. And yet in the midst of our diversity, we build community, grounded in God’s radically inclusive love for all people. We are part of an ongoing conversation on matters of belief and faith, shaped by scripture and the historic creeds, building on those who have come before us. Our chapter begins when God says to us: “Come, taste, and see.”

When I think about our Statement of Faith, I realize that we are a diverse community, we are not monolithic. We’ve come from different faith traditions, backgrounds and spiritual practices. We’ve come from different creeds, ethnicities and nationalities. All of that is part of this beautiful garden of diversity that God has created.

We are an ever-evolving group. We are not the same people we were as children and we’re not still practicing our faith the way we did as young adults. We are changing and learning to live into our own belief systems and practices. As we grow and live into what God intends for each of us, we must be open to include the differences of others.

Jesus invites us to come to this open and affirming table that is set with Love, for all who seek a relationship with the Divine.

I pray that God will bless, strengthen and keep us on our journey and open our eyes to see the oneness of the Spirit in each of us. Amen.
