Our Creed - Credo:
At Sanctum One
A Creed is the code you live by: your beliefs.
It means "a belief, or a form of belief, beliefs".
In spiritual settings it refers to spiritual, “religious” belief. The word has received a variety of meanings
over the years.
1. “Creed” refers to the entire body of beliefs held by the members or adherents of a particular religion, or
spiritual group.
When it used that way, it is equivalent to "doctrine" or to faith; meaning that faith is used to give it its
actual lived-out meaning or expression.
One easy way to understand it is to see it as a set of rules/
guidelines to live by.
2. In a different, narrower sense, a creed is a summary of the principal articles of faith professed by
church or community of believers.
Thus by the "creeds of Christendom" are understood as those writings of the Christian faith which at
various times have been drawn up and accepted by one or the other of the Christian churches.
“Credo” is the Latin word, or expression,
that means “I Believe….”
All people have a "code" they live by - positive or negative; thus we all have "a creed".

Our Creed - what we believe
- We believe that God is Love and Light, Truth
and Power. Where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is One True Church, Apostolic and
Universal
- We know and believe in the One God, Creator
of all things, of all humankind, the Source of
all goodness, love, beauty, and truth.
- We believe in the Christos, God manifest in
the flesh, our Example, Teacher, Redeemer,
and Liberator.
- We believe in the Holy Sophia, God present
with us, for guidance, comfort, purification,
and strength.
- We believe God blesses, preserves and
sanctifies us through our efforts and shows
us how to loose the cords of mistakes binding
us, as we release the strands we hold of
others' guilt, our forgiveness of others being
the measure of God's forgiveness of ours.
- We believe in the life of prayer and love,
grace for every need, and in a generous
response to our Christian obligations as a
measure of our sincerity.

- We believe in the Word of God as manifested through the Logos and Sophia a sufficient rule both of faith and
practice.
- We believe in the Church as the fellowship of the sons and the daughters of the Creator God as a centre for
worship, service, and growth and oneness.
- Let us love, not hate; let us serve and not exact due service; let us heal, not hurt. Let pain bring due reward of
light and love; let the soul control the outer form; let vision come and insight.
- Let love prevail; let all folks love. We believe that perfect Justice rules creation; in the final triumph of
righteousness and in a dynamic quality of life, beginning on Earth, and that all God's Children shall one day return
to their origin, continuing through eternities.
- We affirm the inseparable oneness of God and all humankind, the realization of which comes through spiritual
intuition, and the implications of which are that we can aspire to reproduce divine perfection in our bodies,
emotions, thoughts, and external affairs.
- We affirm the freedom of each person in matters of belief.
- We affirm that the Good is supreme, universal, and eternal.
- We affirm that the kingdom of heaven is within us and outside us; that we are one with God, and we should love
one another and return good even where apparent negativity exists.
- We affirm that the sick are healed through prayer, and we endeavour to manifest perfection because the
kingdom of heaven within us is perfect already.
- We affirm that our mental states are carried forward into the manifest world and become our experience
through the creative law of cause and effect.
- We affirm that the Divine Nature expressing Itself through us manifests as Health, Supply, Wisdom, Love, Life,
Truth, Power, Peace, Beauty, and Joy.
- We affirm that the entire cosmos is the body of God, spiritual in essence, governed by God, through laws which
are spiritual in reality, even when material in appearance.
And so it is.
Amen.
