最近去了个附近的小教堂。在教堂的墙上看到下面的文字。我虽然不是个基督教徒,但觉得它所宣扬的价值观很有道理,特写了下来。 Core Values of Saint Mark Presbyterian Church Relying on the grace of God, we the people of Saint Mark seek to be a community where spirit and service come together, with faith in God through Jesus Christ we honor these core values: Commitment: We offer ourselves, our time, our gifts and our resources to the service of God Community: We are a caring family of faith, honoring the gifts of all people and celebrating our life together Compassion: We care for all God’s children, responding to the pains and nurturing one another in love Hospitality: We welcome everyone to share with us in the community of Christ Mission: Listen and respond to the needs of the world, reaching and serve others in our community and throughout the world Spiritual Growth: We grow closer to God through the disciplines of prayer, study, service and worship |
