of a people,

We know that in order for us to be truly a people of one mind and heart in our response to the Lord, we must serve and care for our brothers and sisters in the Sword of the Spirit, and we must understand and accept those things which make our life as one body possible. We know that we must meet together with the community when the community meets. We must respect and support the pattern and order of our life together. We must support the life of the community with our material and financial resources. All this is simply to take responsibility for those the Lord has given us; to be a new family, members of the same body, brothers and sisters working together in the mission He is entrusting to us as a people. We desire to put our lives into His hands completely, and to follow Him as a people wherever He may lead.
