The community we build together
will be a just and caring community
where everyone counts and all are welcome
where family life is sacred to all of our institutions and systems
where all of our children are cherished and have a chance to become all they can be
where our schools educate hearts as well as heads
where our faith communities challenge and inspire us
where access to safe housing and health care are the vigilantly guarded rights of all
where the marketplace values and rewards hard work as well as smart work
where government serves and does justice
where media share the story of our life together with integrity
where people of all ages and races and backgrounds
look after one another in the good times
and through the hard times
Rooted in our vision
is the belief
that we are on this sacred journey together
and the community we build together
will always be more for the sharing
or less for the withholding
of the gifts of each of us and
all of us
