who have increasingly shared our Christian life in a variety of ways over recent years, now feel a need to show our love for God and for one another by a more formal commitment to grow together in doing His will.

 - We CONFIRM our faith in One God, made known in Three Persons

the Father, Creator;

the Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour;

the Holy Spirit, guiding His Church, the Body of Christ, into all truth.

- We REALISE that each church and every Christian has something to offer and much to learn.

- We RECOGNISE that God can accomplish more through us when we share our common tasks, interests and concerns.

- We COMMIT ourselves to re-assessing our priorities and ways in which local churches can be together and do things together.
