JesusSangha^sm Requirements

• gentle
  sangha will refrain from doing harm to to the best of our abilities. This involves maintaining mindfulness of the effects of actions, speech, & livelihood.
• red letters
  sangha will stick to the red letters in scripture, that is sangha will stick to what Jesus actually said, remembering the difference between what came before Jesus, the commentary about Jesus, and Jesus' dharma teachings.
• poor in spirit
  sangha will not charge for membership in our sangha except to cover any rent expenses that sangha may be asked to pay under the auspices of whatever home our sangha finds.
• humble
  sangha will not attempt to convert anyone or proselytize anyone. Knowing ourselves to be human, we know we have problems enough to correct, without standing in judgment of others.
• engaged
  sangha knows that the best way to seek one's own happiness and show love is to lift up others, through actions and involvement. Members vow to seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly, living lives as walking prayers of love and faith in action.
• transparent
  sangha will maintain an openness about its stumbles along the path, and and a gentle lovingkindness and acceptance towards selves as humans learning to walk a path of followers of Jesus, and expects/hopes others will do likewise.

Our code of conduct requirements are pretty basic but may increase if we run into the need for that. That is, if they are misunderstood, or if someone abuses a sangha and we find out that a new rule is needed then we're going to add it here pronto... and we're going to expect everyone to live by it, too. Right now, rules are basically about following Jesus' dharma teachings and ensuring you are doing your utmost to be non-harming. Oh yes, and make up your own unique name for your sangha, k? Thanks!
