| The North Eastern Diocese is part of the worldwide church whose
foundation is Jesus Christ. We confess that the Word of God which is written
in the Old Testament and in the New Testament is the basis of the Church's
right teaching and the guideline for the life of the Church. We believe that
we are part of the family of the one holy church which is worldwide. We
confess the Apostolic, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds and we accept the
Lutheran teaching as expressed in the Augsburg Confession and in the small
catechism of Martin Luther. |
| The mission of our Diocese is to proclaim the Gospel of God as revealed
through the life and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. With our proclamation,
we intend to reach non-Christians and help Christians to live as true
followers of Jesus so that the church becomes a genuine expression of the
kingdom of God here and now. Together with other Christians, we share the
hope of resurrection and the fulfillment of life in eternity. |
