Mission Statement

The Association aims to foster the spiritual transformation of people in the world:

• By developing and communicating a biblically and spiritually grounded approach to everyday life, its sorrows and joys, its obstacles and opportunities.
• By preparing associates through the religious and educational resources we develop to exemplify the Epiphany vision and mission among people of their own and other faith groupings and in the community, city, state, and nation where God places them under whatever circumstances.
• By encouraging ourselves and all those entrusted to our care to grow daily in loving commitment to the Mystery in an atmosphere of prayerful reflection and committed concern.
• By dedicating our gifts and talents to the betterment of our world and to the personal, familial, occupational, and professional spheres of service for which we are responsible.
• By making every epiphany session, wherever it is held, a spiritual oasis in which associates and friends can replenish themselves for the sake of recommitting themselves to the apostolic, charitable, and social enterprises to which God leads them in their respective worship sites, services, and communities.
• By supporting both materially and spiritually, insofar as this is possible, the establishment of formative and informative programs and projects for persons interested in studying formation science as well as the articulation of this science in the literature and theology of their respective form traditions.
• By keeping open channels of interfaith and cooperation under the graced guidance and authority of each associates’ own faith community.
