Psallam spiritu et mente
I will sing with the spirit and with the understanding also
(1 Corinthians 14:15)
Safeguarding
We hold to the core Christian belief that each person has value and dignity which comes directly from God’s creation of humanity in His own likeness. Among other things, this implies a duty to value each person as someone who bears the image of God and is loved equally by God, and therefore should be protected from harm.
