The vision we share: That power should be used not to maintain power and privilege, but to promote individual and communal growth and development, to teach and to heal, and not to do harm. That individually and collectively we must feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, heal the sick, teach the young and care for the helpless. That spiritual renewal must come to whole societies as well as to individuals and families, that only in community can we find wholeness. That all our actions must be rooted in respect for truth and justice. That the three curses-the subjugation of men to exhausting toil, the subjugation of women to men, and the subjugation of the earth to human arrogance-are not our inevitable lot, but aspects of brokenness for which we seek wholeness, and can win it. That nations must beat their swords into plowshares and study war no more. Our communities and movements must feel and think and act in order to understand and change the world. We must respond with love and empathy to other's feelings of despair. And we must act to make change happen. We begin in our own churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, circles to apply the lessons of our traditions to build a religious democratic socialism that can become real. As we learn from these efforts we must move in larger ways, through organized political, social and trade union action, toward creating a world where all of us share in making the great decisions: how to invest the wealth of the world, how to protect the earth and air and water, how to make peace among the peoples, how to guarantee decent jobs at decent pay, how to enable workers to won and control their own places of work, how to create a context in which human beings can feel the wholeness of their own selves and the wholeness of this world which we perceive as holy. We welcome all who are committed to life, to the life that is destroyed by pollution, starvation, racism, war, nuclear holocaust, to join with us in implementing our vision: choose life.
