What Christians believe - and how to find out more...

Members of St Albans diocese, alongside all other Christians, seek to follow the teaching and example of Jesus Christ.

Christians believe that Jesus Christ was and is the expression of God the Father in human form. The incarnation, that is, the coming of Christ among us as a man, demonstrates that God is intimately concerned with all human experiences, both the good and the bad.

The Christian faith places great importance on the created order of the universe, which reflects both the purpose and the character of God. The gift of God to all people is freedom of choice, but this expression of Fatherly love was also a risk. Mankind chose to follows its own paths.

Through his ministry, death and resurrection, Jesus made possible the reconciliation of God and humankind.

God sends his Holy Spirit to be a guide and teacher. It is the presence of the Holy Spirit which Christians believe supports and leads the Church in its mission to share the Good News of the Gospels.
