We have something to teach you about how to endure human suffering and continue to be true to the faith. We want to learn from your spirituality and with new styles of worship. Together, we will grow in a faith that cannot be shaken by any human force. We stood firm in the faith, and we held fast to the traditions of salvation. Now we want to join your family of faith, to be full partners in sharing the love of Jesus Christ to all people, on these shores and in the four corners of the world.
