Kristus
Kristus grew out of the
Asia-Pacific Friendship Association that was formed
in February 1998. Its purpose was to build bridges
of friendship and human understanding between communities
in America and those in the developing nations of
Asia and the Pacific. Incorporated as a non-profit
501 (c)(3) charitable and educational organization
on November 30, 1998, its mission now extends to
all nations around the globe.
As an organization,
we attract free thinkers who are receptive
to all possibilities of human existence; at the
same time, we are open to finding God
in all things.
Our work embodies
the following characteristics and values:
- Informal, creative and building
communities across cultures
- Catalytic, facilitative and
supportive of people’s gifts and talents
- Cultivating mutuality and “learning
communities”
- Relational and focused on people
and friendship
- Encouraging inter-faith cooperation
and action
Our tools include
education, science and technology - yet
we use these tools in the service of compassion,
human understanding, and most importantly, love.
As a community of people of diverse faiths and
backgrounds, we are prepared to bring that Spirit
of Love to the ends of the earth.
