About Our Church PDF Print E-mail
  • Our Unison Affirmation, repeated at the opening of every Sunday service:

    Love is the doctrine of this church.
    The quest for Truth is its sacrament and Service is its prayer.
    This is our great covenant:
    To dwell together in Peace,
    To seek the Truth in Love,
    And to help one another,
    To the end that all souls shall grow into Harmony
    With the Divine.
