Bishop Craig

I believe in God,
Present from the beginning,
Beyond defining but within understanding,
Spirit not embodied,
Without gender,
Responsive not autocratic,
Without ego or it's needs,
Creating not destroying,
Accepting not judging,
Prodding not compelling,
Liberating not confining,
Uniting not dividing,
Loving all without exception,
Life giving not life denying,
Universal not tribal,
Existing in and beyond all traditions,
Dwelling in and around everything and everybody.

I believe in a world
For which we are responsible.
We are called to protect and preserve
Our environment and all sentient beings.
Nothing is disposable,
Nothing is insignificant.
Faith compels us to look outside ourselves
And become agents of healing for all we encounter.

I believe in Spirit
Present among us as
The still, small voice within.
Calling to us from the depths
Of spiritual practice,
Slowing us down
And lifting us up
Beyond our self-imposed limitations
Into the fullness of who we will become.
