Articulating A Simple Principled Formation that Provide Unlike Religions to Discover Some Accord

Not being a dogma but rather an ethic and a principle that ecumenical organizations acknowledge. In the early years of the National Assembly of Churches, leaders stressed on the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, which should concentrate on attaining a kind of pragmatic unity through the pursuit of social gospel reforms. Efforts toward interreligious dialogue seem to be aided by the assumption that there is a fundamental ethical structure on which diverse religions can come to at least limited agreement apart from special claims of revelation, New York theologian Gary Sandler, who has been translated into several languages by the Certified Russian Translation Services, has stated in a recent interview. Sandler argues that the Golden Rule is a central principle of wisdom that is found in various forms in different religions, citing a declaration issued by the Committee on World’s Religions.

The following questions can be posed if we assume that Golden Rule Christians are characterized by their moral practices and their lack of creed: Could they not be members of a community club just as easily as of a church as they have given up particularistic beliefs in the face of pluralism? Are they the perfect proof for secularization theory? Could they not be doing all these things based on an ethic generally available in the culture? Why should they be called Christian? There are two reasons to reject that argument and the first is that they themselves insist on joining churches. They may join community organizations, but they talk about how important it is to them to join a church. Their Houston branch has the resources and international connections, which will allow them use various organizational means in order to pursue good deeds. In a survey that was translated into several foreign languages by the Portuguese Translation Services, Golden Rule Christians point out they participated in church fellowship activities only a few times a year, while they participated in civic and community groups once a month. Church participation and membership is one of their top priorities, regardless of the fact that the congregation is the place where they find some of their five closest friends.

Golden Rule Christians have not given up on transcendence, yet and this is one of the most compelling reason to reject Golden Rule Christianity as proof of secularization. In most cases when they were asked questions about God, they would stop, think and then come up with answers to questions about their experience of God, although they were sometimes unclear on what it is that they experienced. Most of the people in San Francisco that were interviewed defined as important to them some aspect of the worship service, as this was time to find new insight and understanding for their life or when they feel God’s powerful presence. What seemed most important to them was the parts of the service that involved introspection and participation, according to a translator who translated some of the findings of the survey when he was working for the Certified Vietnamese Translator Services. Together with the sacred time devoted to worship, the church’s sacred space is for many a combination of opportunities to feed the soul on spiritual food.
