Remembering that we, as a unique community of Episcopalians and

                        Roman  Catholics, are entrusted with a vision of God's action in His

                        people, we declare that we have been called to a new venture in the

                        history of the Church.
 

             As the Church of the Holy Apostles,

                       We are called to be a living sign of the Church's efforts

                       toward organic unity, and to promote the ecumenical
 
                      ventures among Christian bodies.

                      We are called to share the gifts of ministry with one another,
 
                      and to be channel's of God's love in the world involving
 
                      ourselves with all others.

 
             As Apostles,

                   We commit ourselves to build community by discovering

                   our wants and needs and those of others through calling
 
                   members to share their gifts freely and to grow; by

                   nurturing members in faith and tradition; be celebrating

                   renewed life together in worship and fellowship.

                  We commit ourselves to spread the Good News of our life

                   in Jesus Christ, who calls us into oneness.
