We gather together as a community of seekers, to honor the interdependence of life, to respect the dignity of all, and to honor the land we walk humbly upon.

Eastrose acknowledges that we walk upon the traditional territories of the Cowlitz, Cascades, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the original nations of this land, who continue to cry out for justice and self determination.

We are blessed with a space and opportunity to strive to live out our common principles:

• To bring justice, equity and compassion into our daily lives,
• To resist all that threatens the earth and her people,
• And to live out our dream of a world community of peace, liberty and justice for all.

Let these thoughts carry us forth as we journey and worship together.
