At Nexus, we are pursuing the way and path of Jesus. We understand the teachings, life, death and resurrection of Jesus to be the path of life. It is the way of justice and mercy, love and grace, reconciliation and redemption, death and resurrection, and the never ending quest to become more fully and authentically human.
Scripture
By following the Christian path we give special attention and prominence to the Gospels and grand narrative of Scripture, even as we recognize that there is much to be learned from all paths, traditions and voices of wisdom. We are in constant dialogue with Scripture as our story and identity document. It shapes our vision of life, God, ourselves and of God’s dream for the earth. We seek to bring a fresh perspective to the Christian path by bringing other culturally authoritative and interesting voices into conversation with Scripture.
Tradition
We seek to humbly take our place on the ancient Christian path recognizing that it has been travelled by many for over 2000 years and continues to be travelled by millions today. As such, we seek to learn from those who have travelled it before us and those who continue to travel it today, even as we recognize the path requires fresh understandings in every time and place and that God’s truth and wisdom can be found in many places, peoples and paths.
