Schedule 1
Basis
CYTÛN unites in pilgrimage those churches in Wales which, acknowledging God’s revelation in Christ, confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures; and, in obedience to God’s will and in the power of the Holy Spirit, commit themselves to seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one another in the Church, which is his body, and to fulfil their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness and service in the world, to the glory of the one God Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Schedule 2
Mission Statement
The Charity will seek to further its objects by:
- encouraging the churches to grow in the unity Christ gives and wills for his church `so that the world may believe’
- affirming and demonstrating the centrality of worship and prayer in all tasks undertaken
- enabling the churches to face together the matters that divide them so that they can grow into a fuller understanding of the nature, purpose and unity of Christ’s church
- encouraging the churches to undertake together ventures in mission and evangelism
- enabling the churches to respond together to the needs of the human community, both in these islands and overseas, through the sharing of those resources which God provides
- enabling the churches to enter together into dialogue with the secular authorities and other World Religions in all appropriate matters
- helping the churches to arrive at a common mind and make decisions together
- continuing to perform such functions and to discharge such responsibilities as have been given to or imposed upon the Charity under its former name of the Council of Churches for Britain and Ireland and are deemed appropriate by the Charity’s member churches
In all these matters the Charity will be mainly concerned with those church and public affairs that need the common resources, reflection or action of all the churches, keeping in mind European and global dimensions.
