"This is the Rule of our Community. A Rule is a measuring rod, a standard against which we check our progress, a map showing us the route toward our chosen goal. A Rule is not rules: the governance of some bureaucracy, another person’s program for our lives, laws and demands laid upon us from outside ourselves.
Knowing the persons we want to be, knowing the life of love with others we want to give birth to, we joyfully accept this Rule as a tool for creating a right spirit within ourselves. In freedom we accept its restrictions, so we may grow in discipline; in love we accept its precepts, that we may bring healing to a lonely and troubled world; in hope we accept its call, 'Ever onward, ever upward,' to yet unknown regions of love and community." (From The Rule: Foundation and Principle, chapter 3)
This small volume contains the prayer of the Community, the Foundation and Principle, the Spiritual Constitutions, and the General Statutes.
