The core value our work rests upon is Jesus’s Great Commandment, specifically the line “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” While we are not an overtly Christian organization, we feel it is in keeping with our commitment to transparency to be up front about this point.
In our view, “loving our neighbor” demands shared kindness, respect, and a commitment to each others’ personal safety and dignity.
To be absolutely clear: Though our inspiration lies within Christian philosophy, we welcome help and support from peoples of all credos, or even no credo at all. If you come bearing good will, that’s all you need.
