The vision
1 FOUNDING PRINCIPLES
This vision is grounded in the theology of the Kingdom of God that wasincarnated
in Jesus Christ, articulated by the Fathers of the Reformation and that embodies
the values of Christian world view.
Consequently, our commitment is founded on this Christian world view as we seek ongoing dialogue with French-speaking culture and take part in public debates and discussions.
This commitment is based on our firm belief in the relevance of biblical teaching to all areas of private and public life, and in its capacity to support the transformation of individuals, families, and social structures.
We believe that it is possible to recover the vigour of biblical principles that we consider universal, and to live them out in our daily lives so that they become a source of renewal for society.
