1 Who do you say that I am?

2 What does it mean to be human?
Homo sapiens is the one creation that is itself creative. To a degree unique among life-forms, human beings are not confined to adapting their environment to themselves…. No less significant was the idea, articulated by some of the sages, that God had deliberately left creation incomplete, to leave room for the work of man….Creation is God’s unfinished symphony, and he has entrusted its completion to us. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

5 Human Life in Relationship

6 Human Life in Relationship
Thus the image of God is not be construed primarily as a set of human faculties, possessions or endowments. It expresses self-transcending life in relationship with others – with the ‘wholly other’ we call God, and with all those different ‘others’ who need our help and whose help we also need in order to the human creatures God intends us to be.

7 Ubuntu I am because you are A person is a person through other persons.

8 Ubuntu For Africans, to be human is to participate in life and respect the conditions that make life possible. To participate in life means ultimately to participate in the fellowship of the community African society emphasises solidarity rather than activity, and the communion of persons rather than their autonomy . . .

9 Ubuntu That personhood is identified by an individual’s interaction with other persons does not eliminate personal identity It simply says that my personal identity comes to the fore in my interaction with, and place in, my community.mmunity

10 The Masai Jesus

11 Masai Creed We believe in the one High God, who out of love created the beautiful world and everything good in it. He created people and wanted people to be happy in the world. God loves the world and every nation and tribe on the Earth. We have known this High God in darkness, and now we know Him in the light. God promised in the book of His word, the Bible, that He would save the world and all the nations and tribes.

12 Masai Creed We believe that God made good His promise by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, a man in the flesh, a Jew by tribe, born poor in a little village, who left His home and was always on safari doing good, curing people by the power of God, teaching about God and humanity, showing the meaning of religion is love.

13 Masai Creed He was rejected by his people, tortured and nailed hands and feet to a cross, and died. He lay buried in the grave, but the hyenas did not touch him, and on the third day, He rose from the grave. He ascended to the skies. He is the Lord.

14 Masai Creed We believe that all our sins are forgiven through Him. All who have faith in Him must be sorry for their sins, be baptized in the Holy Spirit of God, live the rules of love and share the bread together in love, to announce the Good News to others until Jesus comes again. We are waiting for Him. He is alive. He lives. This we believe. Amen.
