Enduring Principles

Enduring Principles are values, concepts, and themes that the Community of Christ endeavor to uphold as essential components that define the essence, heart, or soul of church identity, mission, and message. Some call enduring principles "core values" while others call them "foundational concepts." They describe the personality of the church as expressed through its participants, congregations, and affiliate organizations throughout the world. The Enduring Principles of the Community of Christ are Grace and Generosity, Sacredness of Creation, Continuing Revelation, Worth of All Persons, All Are Called, Responsible Choices, Pursuit of Peace (Shalom), Unity in Diversity, and Blessings of Community. Each of these principles are not meant to be limiting or comprehensive but are helps for people to live a disciplined and spiritually healthy life. The dramas under these categories aim to express these foundational understandings.

Grace and Generosity

"God's grace, especially as revealed in Jesus Christ, is generous and unconditional. Having received God's generous grace, we respond generously and also graciously receive the generosity of other people. We offer all we are and have to God's purposes as revealed in Jesus Christ. We generously share our witness, resources, ministries, and sacraments according to our true capacity."

The Winter of 1834
This historical multi-part drama is about Parley P. Pratt's experience with people's generosity when he had nothing, yet needed to travel from Missouri to Ohio.
 

Sacredness of Creation

"In the beginning, God created and called it all good. Spirit and material, seen and unseen, are related. Creation's power to create or destroy reminds us of our vulnerability in this life. God is still creating to fulfill divine purpose. We join with God as stewards of care and hope for all creation."

Continuing Revelation

"Scripture is an inspired and indispensable witness of human response to God's revelation of divine nature. God graciously reveals divine will today as in the past. The Holy Spirit inspires and provides witness to divine truth. In humility, individually and in community, we prayerfully listen to understand God's will for our lives, the church, and creation more completely."

Worth of All Persons

"God views all people as having inestimable and equal worth. God wants all people to experience wholeness of body, mind, spirit, and relationships. We seek to uphold and restore the worth of all people individually and in community, challenging unjust systems that diminish human worth. We join with Jesus Christ in bringing good news to the poor, sick, captive, and oppressed."

Change My Name
A multi-part drama about acceptance and healing of the brokenhearted.
 

All Are Called

"God graciously gives people gifts and opportunities to do good and to share in God's purposes. Jesus Christ invites people to follow him by becoming disciples who share his life and ministry. Some disciples are called and ordained to particular priesthood responsibilities and ministries for the sake of the community, the congregation, and the world. We respond faithfully, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to our best understanding of God's call."

Respond and Hear
A fun dialogue about responding to God's call.

Responsible Choices

"God gives humans the ability to make choices about whom or what they will serve. Some people experience conditions that diminish their ability to make choices. Human choices contribute to good or evil in our lives and in the world. Many aspects of creation need redemption because of irresponsible and sinful human choices. We are called to make responsible choices within the circumstances of our lives that contribute to the purposes of God."

True Blue
A poetic narrative about faithfulness in a man's life.
 

Pursuit of Peace (Shalom)

"God wants shalom (justice, reconciliation, well-being, wholeness, and peace) for all of creation. Jesus Christ, the embodiment of God's shalom (peace), reveals the meaning of God's peace in all aspects of life. The vision of Zion is to promote God's reign on earth, as proclaimed by Jesus Christ, through the leavening influence of just and peaceful communities. We courageously and generously share the peace of Jesus Christ with others. Led by the Holy Spirit, we work with God and others to restore peace (shalom) to creation. We celebrate God's peace wherever it appears or is being pursued by people of good will."

The Shepherd Witness
A Christmas monologue about the encounter with Christ resulting in reconciliation.
 

Unity in Diversity

"The Community of Christ is a diverse, international family of disciples, seekers, and congregations. Local and worldwide ministries are interdependent and important to the church's mission. The church embraces diversity and unity through the power of the Holy Spirit. We seek agreement or common consent in important matters. If we cannot achieve agreement, we commit to ongoing dialogue and lovingly uphold our common faith in Jesus Christ and the mission of the church. We confess that our lack of agreement on certain matters is hurtful to some of God's beloved children and creation."

Blessings of Community

"The gospel of Jesus Christ is expressed best in community life where people become vulnerable to God's grace and each other. True community includes compassion for and solidarity with the poor, marginalized, and oppressed. True community upholds the worth of persons while providing a healthy alternative to self-centeredness, isolation, and conformity. Sacred community provides nurture and growth opportunities for all people, especially those who can not fully care for themselves. We value our connections and share a strong sense of trust in and belonging with one another - even if we never have met. Some disciples are called and ordained to particular priesthood responsibilities and ministries for the sake of the community, the congregation, and the world. We are called to create communities of Christ's peace in our families and congregations and across villages, tribes, nations, and throughout creation."
