Statement of Faith

And now on this day on which we celebrate the harvest of the earth, let us affirm what we believe:

WE BELIEVE THAT THE EARTH IS THE LORD’S

AND ALL THAT LIVES ON IT;

WE BELIEVE THAT LIVING GRATEFULLY

AND GIVING GENEROUSLY ARE MARKS OF FAITH;

WE BELIEVE THAT ALL OF HUMANITY

SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE EARTH’S RESOURCES

AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL MUST NOW ACT

TO PRESERVE THIS WORLD

SO THAT CHILDREN OF TOMORROW MAY NOT BE

 BURDENED WITH THE MISTAKES OF TODAY

AND SO WE COMMIT OURSELVES

TO THINK GLOBALLY,

TO TRADE FAIRLY,

TO LIVE RESPONSIBLY,

TO LOVE THIS WORLD AS GOD LOVES IT

WHO, IN CHRIST, BECAME PART OF CREATION.

AMEN

Enough- simply enough,
not too much,
not an over-abundance,
but enough.
Sufficient for the day,
not for storing up
or hoarding for the lean times.

But enough.

Seems fair that everyone

should get just what they need
regardless of status.
Just enough.
These are the resources
supplied by God.
