The Church of Christ the Cornerstone

Covenant

The Covenant reads:

A Covenant between the Ecumenical Parish of Christ the Cornerstone (sponsored by the Baptist Union, Church of England, Methodist Church and United Reformed Church), Milton Keynes and the Roman Catholic Pastoral Council of Christ the Cornerstone situated in the parish of Our Lady of Lourdes, Milton Keynes

Believing that the unity of the church is the will of God, we, the members and ministers of the congregation at the Church of Christ the Cornerstone hereby covenant upon the foundation of the recognition that we have one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism; for, we share a Gospel which effects reconciliation between God and humankind and between nations and peoples.

Travelling as Pilgrims on a journey that has already started and which will lead we know not where, we are pleased to place our trust in God, in whose hands the future lies, and to be led forward by Him.

In order to proclaim the gospel by common witness and service in the community and the world, and in obedience to God's call, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we therefore joyfully covenant with each other:

- to work together in love;
- to pray and care for one another and for our neighbour;
- to serve together the community based in the city centre;
- and to live together in fellowship,
to the greater glory of God.

We also commit ourselves: to enact and fulfil such matters as our congregations shall determine by common consensus, which are set out in the Supplement to this Covenant and are to be reviewed prior to an annual act of worship, at which this covenant will be renewed.

Signed by representatives of the local churches on 16 September 1990
