We appeal to all brothers, sisters and young people to carefully consider the Scriptural account of the Genesis creation as it recurs throughout Scripture, to consider its relevance to us as an act of God’s love and power, its relevance to how we become reconciled to our Heavenly Father in a new creation and thus its relevance to our everyday lives.

The extent to which we can enjoy harmony within the Brotherhood depends on the extent to which we find agreement in relation to our understanding of Scripture. Let us work to find agreement in relation to God’s wonderful creation. When ideas apparently contrary to Scripture, to the range of views expressed in mainstream Christadelphian literature and to the Australian Unity Agreement on the origin and development of life on earth, the nature of mankind and the atoning work of God through Christ are promulgated, it is the responsibility of ecclesias to determine whether these ideas do accord with God’s inspired Word. In doing so, and in determining any action to be taken, ecclesias, with the full participation of those presenting such ideas, must consider the guidance contained in the Australian Unity Agreement and relevant sections of the Ecclesial Guide and engage in prayerful consideration of Scripture “examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things are so” (Acts 17:11).
