For Golden Rule Christians, the guiding moral philosophy is not unrelated to traditional religious beliefs and texts. In a way it interprets the Bible, although its main focus stays with the texts itself. An good example of this can be Portland, where evangelicals are a very conservative community, whereas activists are a little bit more liberal than Golden Rule Christians. The waves of immigrants that brought their cultures with them initially used the assistance of the Portland Translation in founding their congregations, which greatly enriched the religious expression there. However, most of them hold every possible position on the Bible, as slightly more than a quarter of the evangelicals taking liberal positions on the Bible, while a roughly equal number of the Golden Rule group taking the conservative position of calling the Bible pure and unmarred. Given only those alternatives for beliefs about the Bible, Golden Rule Christians would undoubtedly have looked more unorthodox. Another reason for the division over the Bible may be the culture war that has also influenced American religion recently.

It is true that an important part of people’s lives is the Bible, and it should be learnt by both children and adults. Not accepting the traditional definitions of inspiration or inerrancy does not mean that they have no use for Scripture, which is defined more by choices and practice than by doctrine. Scripture is their inspiration, motivation and guidance for life in this world. It is true that the Bible should be taken as a serious work, which can serve as a powerful tool for improving the life of the world and one’s own life, even though people may not have such profound knowledge of Scripture. As New York residents are probably the most colorful community in the world, this is particularly true for them. In order to acquire better understanding of the English terminology so they could interpret the Biblical terms more insightfully, they needed the help of the New York Translator when they first stepped on the U.S. soil bringing their own religion along. These findings mean that Golden Rule Christians are not concerned about developing a coherent theological system, and even the notion of salvation is unclear in their minds.

God stands for what makes you hope that you can be a better person – this view was expressed by a member of Carmel United Methodist Church, who had recently emigrated to Phoenix, Since his speech was quite incoherent, his reflections had to be translated by the Phoenix Translation and many other immigrants shared his destiny as they also needed assistant in getting used to the new life. Another one said that God was the way he lived his life. In class for new members, a discussion of salvation reached the conclusion that it was not a one-time experience, but a constant process of demonstrating with your life the value of what you have learned about God. Being a caring establishment whose primary objective is to strengthen the community is what readers perceive a Phoenix newspaper to be. This is why they said they took pride in being a Christian newspaper.

Not being a dogma but rather an ethic and a principle that ecumenical organizations acknowledge. What the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man should concentrate on was attaining a kind of pragmatic unity through the pursuit of social gospel reforms. This is what was stressed on by the leaders of the National Assembly of Churches in its early years. The assumption that there is a fundamental ethical structure on which diverse religions can come to at least limited agreement apart from special claims of revelation seems to be aided by the efforts toward interreligious dialogue, has explicitly stated New York theologian Gary Sandler, who has been translated into several languages by the Russian Translation Services. Sandler argues that the Golden Rule is a central principle of wisdom that is found in various forms in different religions, citing a declaration issued by the Committee on World’s Religions.

The following questions can be posed if we assume that Golden Rule Christians are characterized by their moral practices and their lack of creed: Could they not be members of a community club just as easily as of a church as they have given up particularistic beliefs in the face of pluralism? Are they the perfect proof for secularization theory? Could they not be doing all these things based on an ethic generally available in the culture? Why should they be called Christian? The first of the two reasons which lead us to turning down the argument is that joining churches is what they insist on. They may join community organizations, but they talk about how important it is to them to join a church. Their Houston branch has the resources and international connections, which will allow them use various organizational means in order to pursue good deeds. Having been translated into several foreign languages by the Certified Portuguese Translation Services, a survey points out that Golden Rule Christians participated in civic and community groups once a month, whereas they participated in church fellowship activities only a few times a year. Their congregations is where they find only one or two of their five closest friends, but still most of them claim that what is important to them is church membership and participation.

The more compelling reason to reject Golden Rule Christianity as proof of secularization, however, is that Golden Rule Christians have not given up on transcendence. They almost always knew what to answer when they were asked questions about their experience of God, even though they were often uncertain on what it is they experience, and they sometimes had to stop and think when we asked. Most of the people in San Francisco that were interviewed defined as important to them some aspect of the worship service, as this was time to find new insight and understanding for their life or when they feel God’s powerful presence. According to a translator working for the Vietnamese Translator Services, which translated some of the findings, the parts of the service that involved participation and introspection seemed most important to them. The church’s sacred space, along with the sacred time devoted to worship, seems to combine for many into an opportunity to feed the soul.
