Creed from the Recife Conference 2015 of Portuguese speaking Anglican Dioceses
We believe in God; We believe in the power of poor people,
In the audacity of the poets, In the boldness of the prophets,
In the inspiration of the artists.
We believe in Jesus, we believe in humility to serve;
In the courage to transform, in the joy of celebrating,
In the respect of differences, in the bread for the whole table, in comfort for every sorrow.
We believe in the Spirit, we believe in the hope of starting over;
In the beauty of the gesture of solidarity, in fairness to all oppression, in compassion before pain,
In love, divine-human gift.
Amen.
