What It Means to Be a Member of a
Congregational Church |
|
by Henry David Gray |
|
AN OPEN BIBLE
|
|
Congregational Christians stand for an open Bible
in the fullest sense; a Bible that is open in our
Churches, in our homes, in our schools; open to be
read in our own language with all the insight that
reverent study, prayerful mediation, and Christian living can bring to bear upon it.
We believe that the Bible contains rich spiritual
guidance for every person and for every family and
that devotional reading and study of the scriptures in
the home will foster inner unity and outer strength.
It is our conviction that the Word of God which is
to be found in the Bible will inspire and direct the
Church and will yield fresh light and truth for each
new age.
We cherish the aim that each person shall be able
to read and interpret the Bible for himself with trust,
confidence and affection, and that he shall be able to
experience its power to build him up into a strong,
courageous, and intelligent follower of Jesus Christ.
