Seeking to meet unmet needs,
especially among people who are poor
and marginalized,
we serve in a broad range of ministries.
We provide educational opportunities
to diverse cultures,
to women striving to build new lives,
to children and youth
for their full development
as human persons,
and to all people who seek spiritual
and emotional growth.
We
dare to dance justice in the face of oppression,
reverence in the face of exploitation, beauty
in the face of brokenness,
tenderness in the face of violence.
And in the face of doubt and death,
we dance our belief in the living God. (Acts
of the 31st General Chapter)
