Scripture As Source - Core Value #7

We all have philosophical & practical places to which we return; in part to assure ourselves that in fact we are still on course. And even if the declared origin is my own thinking, I return to my thoughts to check myself. It is equally true that most of us have a detectable set of values that we subscribe to personally - even if you're not religious.

It is in these ways that Process Church will strive to approach the Scriptures. Our goal will be to recognize the Bible as understandable & approachable and its principles transferable to modernity. In its pages are people... people who messed up... people who lived well... people. We will study these people and their lives in order to see ourselves, but most importantly to see the God who interacted with them and us.
