  following in the footsteps of Jesus. As
  Christian disciples, we are not passive
  spectators but energetic participants in Gods
  activity in the world. Because of what God has
  done for us, we offer our lives back to God. We
  order our lives in ways that embody Christs
  ministry in our families, workplaces,
  communities, and the world.
