NEW CHURCH

RATIONAL AIMImaginally present the New Church as the self­conscious global corporate people which has played a destinal role in the creation of civilization from the very beginning and is presently raising the possibility of continually tactically transforming global society through raising up of signs of this new society on the local level.
EXISTENTIAL AIM:To awaken in local man the dreaming of a better world and disclose this deep hunger for significant engagement on behalf of this future of the globe by offering a sociological arena in which the care can be acted out.

:

When a 20th century man sees that he is on the crimson line of history of all those in the past who gave their lives to see that civilization was created, his own past is transfigured, the human symbols that the church has guarded over the centuries come alive in his own life, and the life decision of self­consciously participating in the humanization dynamic is inescapably placed before him.

To experience the possibility of significant engagement in the social process through the chastity and total expenditure of a community of people.

To enable man to see his role in every situation , to move in every situation wherein he can say I am a powerful man or woman, to move the world. We are the powerful body of the world and we are the hope of the world. We have to proclaim the gospel all throughout the globe actively. We must participate and care for the new church by experiencing the newness of life and all visions of light and hope.

To be called into corporate consciousness as a group by churchmen who receive the givenness of life as judgment and possibility.
