The Belhar Confession is a gift from the church to the church. By highlighting God’s call to unity, justice, and reconciliation, the Belhar reminds us that when we profess our faith in Christ, we do so as part of the global church. And belonging to the global church comes with responsibilities, each part being accountable to the others.
Synod 2012 adopted the Belhar Confession and its accompanying documents, recommending it to the churches for study and for incorporation of its themes into their discipling and liturgical ministries, and Synod 2017 categorized the Belhar as a contemporary testimony.
