Affirmation of Faith, by The Women of the Church of Mary Magdalene
We, who are homeless or suffering from multiple difficulties, believe in God who created and blessed women equally in God's own images.
We affirm God as a loving and forgiving god, not a condemning God. Therefore, we refuse to be treated as inferior and less worthy human beings. We loudly affirm that we deserve to dream a vision, a hope, and future.
We re-image Jesus Christ as a forgiving and healing mother, father, sister, brother, friend and Savior who, himself, was homeless, abused and killed on a cross.
We affirm Jesus' resurrection as a mirror of our own healing from our poverty, homelessness, brokenness, bondage, and destructive thoughts and actions.
We affirm the Holy Spirit as our source of strength and inspiration who empowers us to get up after every fall. the Spirit constantly leads us back home to God.
We affirm our gathering as a worshipping community that must practice love, joy, peace, forgiveness, security, and support for one another. Amen.
