Breaking the Silence is committed to the following principle statements: We are grounded in the biblical witness of responsibility to God and love for our neighbor. We actively participate in a relationship with a loving God as revealed through Jesus the Christ. We uphold The United Methodist Book of Discipline. We rejoice in the knowledge that each of us is created in God’s own image and is of sacred worth. We are convinced of God’s unconditional love and acceptance of all people. We are committed to Christ’s commandment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. We are committed to following Christ’s example, treating all persons as equal and equally cherished in the eyes of our creator, thus establishing radical hospitality as the norm for all human relations. We are committed to John Wesley’s principle of “going on to perfection” and therefore value and devote appropriate time and effort to continuing education and spiritual growth. We are committed to our Wesleyan heritage that calls us to biblical scholarship, a historical-critical interpretation of Holy Scripture, and the Quadrilateral (scripture, tradition, reason, experience) as the established United Methodist tool for theological reflection. We are committed to preaching, teaching and promoting each of these beliefs and practices.
