Statement 17 (Vol 4 No 38)
The religion of the New Faith stands for the fullest promotion of life and the prevention of violence, destructiveness and waste. It carries the burden of ethical decisions as to when life will be surrendered to a dignified death.
Our faith proclaims our life of worth
In all its fullness from our birth;
Our faith stands for the sanctity
Of every living entity;
The gift of life is so unique
It blossoms strongly in ‘the meek’.
Our faith proclaims that waste is wrong;
That violence should not tempt the strong;
Our faith rejects destructiveness,
Oppression and abusiveness;
Let evil be subdued by good;
May love pervade each neighbourhood.
Our faith proclaims a solemn tie
To judgements as to when we die;
Our faith regards, with painful breath,
Decisions made surrounding death;
When is it right to ethically
Surrender life with dignity?
Our faith proclaims our life of worth
In all its fullness from our birth;
Our faith stands for the sanctity
Of every living entity;
So heed the call to you and me
To live our lives abundantly.
