Choral Recitation
The New Apostles' Creed of the 21st Century
Planetary Proclamation of Christ Michael of Nebadon
(Leader reads the bold opening of each section; Students respond with the full affirmation.)
Leader:
As Newly Faithful Apostles of the World, let us proclaim our sacred belief:
Students:
We believe in the One Indescribable God,
the Father and Mother Almighty of all lives,
who is of Infinite Goodness —
the all-Truth-giving Creator, Controller, Upholder, and Preserver of heaven and earth.
Leader:
In whom do we root our vine of eternal life?
Students:
We believe in Christ Jesus Michael,
the Father-Son of our Universe of Nebadon,
who is the Vine of Life.
We are each His branches,
meant to bring forth the fruit of Life Everlasting.
Leader:
Whom do we honor as the Infinite Creative Partner of Christ?
Students:
We believe in the Infinite Creative Mother Spirit,
the universe expression of the Infinite Spirit,
whose Holy Spirit Presence exalts our mortal minds
into eternal encircuitment with the Mind of God.
Leader:
What communion do we seek?
Students:
We believe in living in Holy Communion
with the Father’s Spirit Life within us,
and one day to enter into eternal union with God.
Leader:
With whom do we walk in planetary and cosmic service?
Students:
We believe in cooperative communion
with the Divine Personalities
who serve the evolutions of the Earth.
Leader:
By what power do we find forgiveness and healing?
Students:
We believe in the forgiveness of sins
through our personal authorship,
through the acceptance of our creative nature in God.
Leader:
In whose Authority do we live?
Students:
We believe in the Authority of God,
by full acknowledgment, adoration,
and acceptance of the Spirit Life of the Father living within us
as our all-powerful authority.
Leader:
What is the destiny of our soul?
Students:
We believe in the progressive transfiguration of our mortality,
through daily embracing eternity,
and in the resurrection ideal
for body, mind, emotions, and total persona,
in the fulfilling achievement of the eternity embrace.
Leader:
How shall we enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
Students:
We believe we are becoming born anew
through the power of God the Father’s Indwelling Life,
and His all-ennobling love.
We enter the Kingdom of Heaven
by the powers of holy faith,
and by wholehearted commitment to achieve the Will of God the Father.
Leader:
What transformation must occur within us?
Students:
We believe that unless we are born of the water of a new mind
and the spirit life of a new creature,
we cannot see the Kingdom of God.
That which is born of flesh remains ephemeral,
but that which is born of spirit identification and loyalty
is transformed in the eternity of Spirit.
Leader:
In what power and hope do we rise?
Students:
We believe in the redemptive power of love,
in our soul vesture growing daily from out of our mortality and righteousness,
and in our progressive evolutionary attainment of life everlasting.
We are the living sons and daughters of the Most High.
We arise in the Spirit of Truth.
We ascend in the Light of Eternal Becoming.
We consecrate ourselves to the sacred planetary destiny of the Father.
Adonai
