Christian Magna Carta
We affirm the Christian Magna Carta which describes the following basic rights as implicit in the gospel. Everyone on earth has the right to:
Hear and understand the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Have a Bible available in their own language.
Have a Christian fellowship available nearby, to be able to meet for fellowship regularly each week, and to have Biblical teaching and worship with others in the Body of Christ.
Have a Christian education available for their children.
Have the basic necessities of life: food, water, clothing, shelter and health care.
Lead a productive life of fulfillment spiritually, mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically.
We commit ourselves, by God’s grace, to fulfill this covenant and to live for His glory.
