What We Believe !
By Ernest Holmes, 1927 !
We believe in God, the living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. This One manifests Itself in and through all creation, but is
not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of
the infinite self-knowingness of God. !
We believe in the individualization of the Spirit in Us, and that all people are individualizations of the One Spirit.
!
