Affirmation of Faith and the Lord's prayer from Dn. Babu Abraham's Evaluation Service

The Affirmation of Faith: "We believe in One God, the author of life and creator of the universe, who is not in some distant place but in our midst. We believe in the Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who came into the world to seek the lost, to redeem the whole creation and to free us from all forms of oppression. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the giver of life, who leads us all to truth, renewing us and enabling us to grow in the likeness of Christ.
We affirm that the Church and its entire members have a mission for today: to proclaim the good news and to work with those who struggle to for justice and freedom in our communities.
We affirm the dignity of all who live in the world, the basic right of every human being to develop as a child of God, for whom Christ has given Himself in love. Amen."

Lord's Prayer: "God our parent, who is everywhere
Your name will be Holy
Your rule comes
Your plan be executed on earth
Provide our sustenance Forgive our wrongs and injustices
Inspire a forgiving Spirit in us
Help us to overcome our self-righteousness
And liberate us from all evils
Yours is the rule, the power and the glory forever and ever, Amen.
