The Global Faith Pledge

Dear Brothers and Sisters of humanity, peoples of faith, of various Faiths, I present this proposed pledge for your consideration to affirm these truths and values that many people of earth have ascented to in this Age. While some of these statements begin as "I believe," this is not submitted as a creed to be accepted. They are mainly statements of value. I ask you to voice your affirmation of these truths saying "I agree," and emailing me at mark.globalfaith@gmail.com, or emailing at the same with your comments or disagreements, if any. By saying "I agree," is not saying you perfectly live up to these values. We fail every day to be as loving to other human beings as we should. Saying "I agree" is an aspiration of this as the way things should be. It does not mean that you are making some permanent committment that you cannot live up to.

The Global Faith Proposed Pledge

1. I believe in the innate dignity of every human being, regardless of race.

2. I believe in the mutual respect of all human beings regardless of particular creed, faith, religion.

3. I believe in having a basic religious tolerance of all others whose faith or religion may be different from mine.

4. I believe in a freedom of faith that is foremost a spiritual freedom, and the freedom to practice one's own faith, recognizing that some peoples live in countries that restrict their religious freedom in the temporal realm, but blessed are all those who are spiritually free.

5. I believe that each person should seek truth for him or herself, to know it themselves in their own beings,
and that they should be free to seek and study in their spiritual journey of life.

6. I feel each person should be guided by their own conscience and not forced to go against their own conscience.

7. I will strive to be moral in my conduct at home and in the community and public. I will strive to do the
right thing, and to be an example of good living to my family, to young people, and before the community.
