We

·
Men are
capable of serious spiritual journeys.
·
Our
message is grounded in the Christian Paschal Mystery while integrating the
symbols and rituals from other religions and cultures.
·
Men must
seek to improve their conscious contact with God through prayer and meditation.
·
Men must
have the affirmation and guidance of wise mentors.
·
Men have
a need and responsibility to mentor future generations.
·
In a
universal message of love and faith that transcends the boundaries of race,
nation, culture, gender, economics/class, politics, sexual orientation and
religious differences.
·
Men must
seek honest mutuality in their relationships with women in thought, word and
deed.
·
Men must
recognize and critique their own power with regard to women, minorities and the
poor, and use their power for justice in the world.
·
There is
a need for collaborating with like-minded groups and other faith traditions.
