The Teacher s legacy to us is clear. The Teacher loved Life. He would secure the lives of men from any harm. According to the Commandments of Love we are to save life whenever possible. Wars are therefore immoral, as is capital punishment.
Abortion is also to be avoided.
On the other hand, reason tells us that in order to curtail death and suffering we must limit populations. Therefore methods of birth control are to be perfected to a maximal effectiveness. Once again, we are to go out of our way to save all human life endangered by premature death. The Mission is a growing, evolving progression of service to the endangered and the suffering. It encompasses the whole human condition.
