Membership Covenant
Members (or Exploring Members) of Metanoia Peace Community agree together to abide by the following covenant:
- Participate weekly in the Sunday gatherings of the community.
- Regard all of our personal income and possessions as a resource to be shared, beginning with the tithe (10%).
- Meet regularly with other members in a small Covenant Member Group, where we allow others to hold us accountable for living out this covenant.
- Meet monthly with other members in a gathering of the full membership "Member Meeting."
- Devote time daily to meditation, prayer, silence and other acts of devotion, both alone and with others (the journey inward).
- Be in mission to the world, as evidenced in specific acts of compassion and justice (the journey outward).
- Live our lives in response to God’s call, seeking guidance from other members in an ongoing process of discernment of that call.
- Support and uphold one another, as together we participate in building up the body of Christ.
- Continue in membership until, in conversation with our fellow members, we have together come to discernment that we are being called to some other place or relationship.
