Charter of the Ambleside School
of Fredericksburg
1. We believe in and proclaim both
the mystery that is God, whom we partly know and partly do not
know, and the human need to worship.
2. We believe in and proclaim the
person of Jesus Christ who distinctively reveals the nature of God
and the meaning and purpose of life, and who calls us to follow
Him through the death of the cross to the place of the
Resurrection.
3. We trust in the Holy Spirit who
prompts liberty, beauty, truth, love, and joy against the
waywardness of human nature.
4. We are committed to using the
Bible in a way that takes account of all truth and relates it to
the real experiences, both good and bad, that people have of life.
5. We are committed to exploring
the meaning of the Kingdom of God and to making connections
between what we profess and the way in which we live and work.
6. We acknowledge the destructive
power of human sinfulness, and we welcome gratefully the
forgiveness that God offers to those who are prepared to turn to
the truth.
7. We are committed to taking all
people seriously wherever they might be at their particular point
of understanding, while at the same time sharing with them
whatever insights may have been gained by our relationship with
God.
8. We are committed to identifying
and affirming what is good and identifying and opposing what is
evil, and living as best we can in the mess in the middle.
