The Bible gives effective direction to our lives. We
try to rely fully upon God and develop a faith which is active in prayer and
good works.
At the same time, however, we recognise that salvation
is by grace.
With God's help, we seek to please and obey him every
day, striving to imitate Christ who faithfully obeyed his Father. We therefore
endeavour to be enthusiastic in work, loyal in marriage, generous in giving,
dedicated in preaching and happy in our God.
A widespread custom amongst Christadelphians is to
read the Bible every day using a reading plan which enables us to
systematically read the Old Testament once and the New Testament twice each
year. Of course, many read much more widely than this.
We may also attend one or more evening Bible classes
each week. Every Sunday, we attend a service we call the "Memorial
Meeting" or "Breaking of Bread". This is similar to the
"Communion" of some churches. All members partake of bread and wine
and an 'exhortation' is given based on the Bible. Attendance at this service is
the focus of our religious life.
We also have Sunday Schools and Youth Groups; a
weekend away at a Bible Study camp is always popular with Christadelphian young
people.
Some members travel overseas on mission work; others care for the elderly in our nursing homes and hostels. There are several monthly magazines to read (and write).
