Christian Magna Carta

We affirm the Christian Magna Carta which describes the following basic rights as implicit in the Gospel. Everyone on earth has the right to:

  1. Hear and understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  2. Have a Bible available in their own language.
  3. Have a Christian fellowship available nearby, to be able to meet for fellowship regularly each week, and to have biblical teaching and worship with others in the Body of Christ.
  4. Have a Christian education available for their children.
  5. Have the basic necessities of life: food, water, clothing, shelter and health care.
  6. Lead a productive life of fulfilment spiritually, mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically.

 

We commit ourselves, by God’s grace, to fulfil this covenant and to live for his glory.
