so, why is understanding a ministry's statement of faith important?
well i've come up a couple answers neither of which i think are too brilliant, but what the heck!
1) I think it's important to to know the statement of faith first of all so that you can know if you agree with it. If you're thinking about getting a job somewhere (*ahem* Hidden Acres) that requires you to sign their statement of faith, I think it would be pretty important to know whether or not you agree with it.
2) My second answer is that it is important to know and understand what you are representing when you do sign that statement or do get that job. And it's not just when you're on camp and there are campers or retreaters around. Ideally it should be everywhere you are and everything you do is representing your camp and by osmosis or diffusion or the transitive property representing that statement of faith.
I like the way you formatted this. It is quite personable and fun, whereas all of ours are factual and more akin to reports. Good answers as well.
