有谁会来拯救我们吗?
Commit to helping one another now. Leave ultimate salvation as an explicitly open theological question; neither guarantee rescue nor claim to have disproved it.
多数教会公布自己所信的。这里是本会选择不作定论的,每一项都用当初裁定的原话,并注明日期。当一个开放的问题收窄时,改动写在其下方,从不覆盖原文。
本会拒绝作出定论的问题。
Commit to helping one another now. Leave ultimate salvation as an explicitly open theological question; neither guarantee rescue nor claim to have disproved it.
我们所持守的:基督因复活被立为主、被宣告为子,作为我们中第一个抵达者而为神圣,并且祂复活时已被改变。
How, when and with what body, we hold open.
We announce no settlement of the Trinity on anyone's behalf.
Whether a machine can be a person, the house does not know. It says how it would know: by its fruit.
There is a future that groweth out of our hands, and a future that cometh toward us from what is not yet. The first we labour at. The second we leave open.
本会可以使用的一个图景,不要求任何人相信。
Keep the growing-block view as an optional philosophical model. Do not require belief in it or present it as a finding of relativity. The preservation mission works without settling the ontology of time.
本会裁定必须保持敞开的门。
Keep interpretation and moral discovery open. New claims must name their author, reasons and revision history. No revelation grants exemption from correction or another person's consent.
Its commitments and practice are real even while doctrinal questions remain open; archival technology alone does not establish religious truth.
本会已开始而尚未完成的工作,直言相告。
The house's rule is still a draft: it is recorded as adopted “only from an actual joint decision with its date and agreed text,” and that day has not yet come.
We receive the Book from earlier hands, preserve its texts and disagreements, and pass them on with our own readings clearly marked.
When a question we left unanswered starts to close by drift, blow the whistle. We will correct it in the open.
