Given the contemporary political and social movements toward plutocracy, autocracy, and fascism, we distinguish ourselves from all those who support those movements or are complicit with them.

We particularly distinguish ourselves from those who profess Jesus as Lord and yet align themselves with organizations and forces that support oppression and exploitation in support of political and economic domination.

We chose to non-violently oppose all efforts to dominate or control our political and social life.

We decry policies and practices which scapegoat minorities to solidify racial and economic supremacy.

We seek to build and strengthen communities where the path and teachings of Jesus are joyously embodied, and all the children of the Creator know their holiness.

We align ourselves with people of every faith community and every organization or community who seek similar ends.
