The Church of Humans
The Church of Humans receives the Gospel as witness to Christ, and The Witness of Thomas as sayings of recognition.
It receives the two commandments given by Christ: to love God, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself.
It inherits a pre-Nicene Christian tradition that understands God through covenantal action and Christ through lived faith,
and admits as sins both judgment of others before God and harm or hatred toward one’s neighbor.
What follows is not Law, but a Rule. It is undertaken freely and binds no one who does not choose it.
Those who accept it — now
place themselves within a church
without boundary or authority,
distributed among persons,
held together only by prayer,
love, memory, and practice,
and
