We DOMINICAN Preachers of Adrian
impelled by the Gospel and
outraged by the injustices of our day
seek truth;
make peace;
reverence life.
Stirred by the wisdom of God and rooted in
our contemplative prayer, communal study
and life in community, we challenge
heresies of local and global domination,
exploitation and greed that privledge some,
dehumanize others and ravage Earth.
We confront our racist attitudes and root
out racist practices in our lives and
systems.
We confront systems where women are
denied freedom, equality, and
full personhood.
We walk in solidarity with people who
are poor and challenge structures that
impoverish them.
We practice non-violent peacemaking.
We promote lay leadership and shared
decision-making for a renewed Church.
We live in right relationships with
Earth Community.
We claim communal authority and
responsibility of our Dominican heritage.
We commit ourselves to live this Vision.
