Our perception of Mankind

The mystery of the Creation brings forth all living things, thus also mankind. We believe that in contact with our fellow beings we are in essence dealing with God, the Universal Creator. That gives a special quality to our unity. Relationships and friendships are important. Giving and receiving love is a deep need and can give one's life direction and meaning. People need each other to exist. We are all different yet, at a deeper level we are alike.

Apostolics believe in a world in which people choose that which unites them, rather than separates them; a world where we can have a respectful and conscientious open dialogue without claiming that our beliefs hold the ultimate truth. Apostolics believe in a world where ordinary, vulnerable people wish to show others how to live together in spite of diversity.

One has to have vision to realize the unique chance this belief offers. A vision based on the realization, that wherever we are born and  in whichever culture we grow up, we are above all, a part of  mankind, originating from the same source. It seems as if nowadays one´s own point of view and one´s own rights are getting to be more and more important. Now that individualization is celebrating its heyday, an attitude of love, peace, reconciliation, and unity is urgently needed as a counterbalance. We believe that everyone´s personal effort is of importance. Our perception of God and Creation determines how we treat our fellow man in daily life.
