1. We proclaim a faith in Jesus as Lord. This faith is both firmly rooted in the Bible and open to new insights and understandings. We hold fast to our inheritance of faith, convinced that tradition develops under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

2. We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for the whole of life. It equips us for mission and witness, and strengthens us to confront evil.

3. We rejoice at the goodness of God's creation but are saddened and ashamed at injustice, violence and pollution. We are committed to working for economic, social and political solutions.

4. We long for the unity of all Christians. We are grateful for progress already made; we welcome new initiatives; we commit ourselves to working ecumenically.

5. We believe that all the gifts of women and men should be fully affirmed and equally used, in the Church and in the world.

6. We value and rejoice in Anglican diversity; we believe that the Church is enriched by both tolerance and tension between our different traditions.

7. We affirm our hope in the future, living out our faith in a positive spirit which is both liberal and critical. We seek to overcome inertia, apathy and bigotry in the Church and in the world. We look for the coming of God's kingdom.
