We believe:

That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;

That the brotherhood of man transcends the
sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men
through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.

— C. William Brownfield,1946
