HOME MISSIONSTATEMENT We believe in the Holy Trinity, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; one God almighty and the whole Godhead; in the Holy Trinity co-essential, consubstantial, coeternal, and co-omnipotent, of one will, power and majesty, the Creator of all creatures, by Whom are all things, and in Whom are all things, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, corporeal and spiritual; in one God, true, full and perfect; We believe in the Church which is One, Holy and Apostolic, which will be united again as Christ Jesus Himself created it: "Ut omnes unum sint, sicut Tu Pater in Me, et Ego in Te, ut et ipsi in Nobis unum sint.". The Church's journey began in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost and its original expansion in the oikoumene of that time was centred around Apostle Peter and the Eleven (cf. Acts 2:14). The structures of the Church in the East and in the West evolved in reference to that Apostolic heritage. Her unity during the first millennium was maintained within those same structures through the Bishops, Successors of the Apostles, in communion with the Bishop of Rome. If today, in the beginning of the third millennium we are seeking to restore full communion, it is to that unity, thus structured, which we must look (John Paul II, Encyclical Letter of 1995 Ut Unum Sint). We believe in the fraternity of all Christians and in the civilisation of love among all humans. The Blue Cross Order welcomes anyone who wishes to become servant and knight of Christ Jesus, for glorification of God, for unity between human beings, for sharing the same spiritual goals, for counseling, for brotherhood and for loyalty. For pursuing love and unity between the two Apostolic Churches until they become One, Holy and United Church of Christ God Almighty, for promoting of the Christian ethics, for the support of the Truth and for searching of the divine mysteries.
