We believe and we profess that God, the origin and end of all things, can be known with certainty by the natural light of reason from the created world (see Rom. 1:90), that is, from the visible works of creation, as a cause from its effects, and that, therefore, his existence can also be demonstrated We believe and we accept and we acknowledge the external proofs of revelation, that is, divine acts and especially miracles and prophecies as the surest signs of the divine origin of the Christian religion and we hold that these same proofs are well adapted to the understanding of all eras and all men, even of this time. We believe with equally firm faith that the Church, the guardian and teacher of the revealed word, was personally instituted by the real and historical Christ when he lived among us, and that the Church was built upon Peter, the prince of the apostolic hierarchy, and his successors for the duration of time. We believe and we sincerely hold that the doctrine of faith was handed down to us from the apostles through the orthodox Fathers in exactly the same meaning and always in the same purport. Therefore, we entirely reject the heretical' misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different from the one which the Church held previously. We also condemn every error according to which, in place of the divine deposit which has been given to the spouse of Christ to be carefully guarded by her, there is put a philosophical figment or product of a human conscience that has gradually been developed by human effort and will continue to develop indefinitely. We believe and we hold with certainty and sincerely confess that faith is not a blind sentiment of religion welling up from the depths of the subconscious under the impulse of the heart and the motion of a will trained to morality; but faith is a genuine assent of the intellect to truth received by hearing from an external source. By this assent, because of the authority of the supremely truthful God, we believe to be true that which has been revealed and attested to by a personal God, our creator and Lord. We are a specialized ministry, where chaplains serve not in a church, nor in parishes, but to the public at large as chaplains. We are there to listen, care, and respond appropriately, for such is the nature of the chaplaincy. We believe in, adhere to, cleave to, trust to have faith in, and rely on our Lord Jesus Christ for guidance in responding to the needs of everyone we serve. We acknowledge that when we evangelize through apologetics, or defending the faith, we are not merely attempting to win arguments or make others look foolish. Our Apologetics will always be done in the context of evangelism, the goal of which is to share the gospel in a meaningful way, to convey the truth of special revelation concerning God's plan for salvation with humility and compassion We attests to both competence and endorsement for the chaplain ministry. Professional network membership is for all clergy who are in agreement with our affirmation of the Christian faith and ethical standards by which we minister through Jesus Christ, with Jesus Christ, and in Jesus Christ in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God the Father the almighty. |
