Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?
"I will, with God’s help."
Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
"I will, with God’s help."
(from the Baptismal Covenant, Book of Common Prayer, p. 304 – 305)
Our Baptismal Covenant with God reminds us of the gift of life and love we have received and our call to share this Light with the world. The Church as the Body of Christ is not meant to be a place far removed from the world – but very much right in the middle of the world just as Jesus himself lived his life! The Gospels are clear about challenging us to be active responders to the poverty, suffering, violence and oppression all around us in the world.
