*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
We honor the women who gave birth to hope, who were lifted up by Matthew as the foremothers of the One who came at Christmas.
We honor the women who used their own agency in a world that tried to rob them of it, so that their families could survive and their stories could be told.
We believe in God the mother and father of us all, creator of heaven and earth, whose promise to renew the Earth was embodied in an infant and lives in a promise yet to be fulfilled.
We believe in Christ who was made flesh in an infant child and was born to Mary, whose humanity was proven in his tears, hunger, and blood; and whose divinity was revealed in his feeding, healing, and resurrection.
We believe in the Holy Spirit who indwells with us today, and gives strength to women and men who continue to give birth to hope.
