Democracy means that you view issues of race, gender, sexuality, the environment, the workplace and the like to be crucial spheres where the negotiation over identity, equality, and emancipation takes place.
One Tribal Voice: One MAN'S
thought on GOD and the POST MODERN CHURCH
"Democratic principles commit me and should commit you to a relentless quest for the sort of political behavior that speaks
to race, class, gender, economic arrangement, and social conditions that promotes a full productive life for the common citizen.
This translated means Good public policy and progressive politics." Reverend Alan L., Joplin
Social Commentary is the act of rebelling against something in a rhetorical manner.
This is done with the idea of promoting change by informing the general populace about a given problem and appealing to people's sense of Justice.

Dimensions (life rules, thoughts, attitudes) to freedom
God is love, power and justice, the living force of freedom from moral and physical captivity.
We shall not bow down or serve any human institution, technology or riches, but let our worship be actualized in the service of many people in all their poverty and degradation.
We shall not define others according to our own preconceptions; but recognize our creative presence in all people struggling for human redemption.
We shall not be wasteful of any day, but remember “to keep all days holy is to live creatively”.
We shall remember the soul and devotion of the extended family, to keep it intact; that isolation and conflict be banished from the land forever.
We shall not deny our brother or sister their dignity, because to despise a man or woman is to murder them.
We shall not sell our integrity for personal gain, but invest our life in the cause of humanity.
We shall not live by the exploitation of others; but shall strive for the sharing of prosperity
We shall not classify or humiliate our neighbor, for the culture and language of racism and other "ism" perverts your soul.
We shall not be jealous of the achievements of our friends, but rejoice in them always.

Whatever insults the human dignity, such as substandard living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as poor working conditions, where men are treated as tools for profit, rather than as free and responsible persons; all these things and others are infamies indeed. They poison human society, but they do no more harm to those who practice them than those who suffer from the injury.

Statement of Belief
The Christian Faith motivates man,
To aspire for the fullness of life,
In the HERE and NOW.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Is the Whole Gospel of the Whole person.
It seeks to redeem us in totality,
It dose not compartmentalize us.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
Has the power to heal
The bleeding wounds of the
Moral, Social, economic,
and Political ills of our age.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ,
Affirms the worth of every person
It exposes the dominant myth of Divine racism.
It advocates the brotherhood and sisterhood,
of all as the hope of the world
The Peoples Creed
I believe in a color blind God,
Maker of Technicolor people,
Who created the universe
And provide abundant resources
For equitable distribution among all his people.
I believe in Jesus Christ
Born of a common woman
Who was ridiculed, disfigured and executed,
Who on the third day rose and fought back;
He stormed the highest councils of men,
Where he overturns the iron rule of justice.
From now on he shall continue
To judge the hatred and arrogance of men.
I believe in the sprit of Reconciliation,
The united body of the dispossessed;
The communication of the suffering masses,
The power that overcomes the dehumanizing forces of man.
The resurrection of personhood, injustice and equality,
And the final triumph of brother and sisterhood.
