Cross Denominational Mission
The
Christian church for various reasons has found itself divided into
groups called denominations. At one time these were to reconcile
differences in opinion amongst the believers. Lately, there have been
attempts to merge churches, to combine congregations. This is noble.
However, we believe that the diversity of the denominations is in
itself a strength. Not all flowers are the same. God's promise is the
sign of the rainbow: not all the colours are the same.
They all belong there. They all should be side by side. The rainbow
would be incomplete if any one colour was missing.
If
we are blue, we
should not pretend to be red. If we are green, we should not try to
smother out yellow. We all belong. We're meant to be here. The
denominations have grown up for their various reasons and have been
shaped by history, and indeed they have shaped history. They need
celebrating, not diminishing or merging. Co-operation is fine, mutual
respect and working for common aims and goals: noble. However, let us
not work towards a Christian monolith. We need to be the many,
worshipping the One God.
This mission exists to promote the strengths of the various
denominations by education and support. It also supports, by inclusion,
independants and non-denominationals. It is not our job to promote one
denomination above another, or to judge their systems or merits, or to
condemn aspects of their belief. Everyone is responsible for their own
salvation. We will support each and every Christian either as a part of a
denomination or as an individual.
