As Interfaith Franciscans-we are all Members of the Tau Community of St. Francis who are totally committed to live out the following as we search for our God of the future by:
Giving glory to the 'One True God,' who is the Father Mother God of all Faiths and we thereby erradicate all forms of religious intolerance from our hearts and communities.
Demonstrating unconditional, non judgemental, respectful love towards all mankind, regardless of their beliefs, sexuality, disability, ethnicity or cultural differences.
Endorsing 100% the UN's ' Charter of Compassion,' for all mankind.
- Erradicating gender inequality caused by religious cleric's who have shown a blatent disrespect of God's True Word.
- Safeguarding the earth's resources through eco friendly and sustainable means in our daily lives as followers of St. Francis.
- Sharing the resources of planet earth with all God's creation and this includes the wellbeing and safety of all animals.
Dedicate our lives to living in the footsteps of the Great Masters- the Cosmic Christ, Mohammed, Gandhi, St. Francis and others, who demonstrated selfless love to those who persecuted them.
