Jamie Gibson submission


Reform Judaism is light.  It shines hope and optimism on the world, sure in its connection to our past and our hope in God and our efforts for the future.  It is relentlessly forward looking and refuses to turn away from the challenges that modernity raises.  We maintain faith in our covenant with God, our commitment to Torah for our age and a connection to a people with whom we share a common history and aspire to a destiny of wonder.

Reform Judaism is faith.  We hold aloft the flame of faith in God and humanity, our purpose and our potential. We believe in the truths of our ancient prophets as a roadmap to an ethical life, for us and our community.

Reform Judaism is the divine spark of souls.  In an impersonal age, we connect people at the level where it matters most, that is, spiritually.  We matter, infinitely more than we can express, because we share inner connection and outer purpose, to make this world better, to be bearers of our unique insight to all who would want to connect their spark to our flame.
