Our Values |
|
|
|
|
This statement of our values is drawn from the
earliest known codes of chivalry, sometimes called the ‘noble habitus’ which
pre-dates the better known ‘Ten Commandments of Chivalry.’ These have been
used to draw up our Saxon interpretation of the Beatitudes. On these, we make our
stand! |
1. Loyalty (Fidelity) Loyalty to our faith in Christ Jesus, to our kinfolk, our
traditions and proven friends, our elders and rightful leaders. 2. Love Act out of love not hate. 3. Forbearance Discipline and self-control, acting proportionally to
situations and showing mercy. 4. Courage Strength of character to face adversity bravely, standing
your ground and doing what is right even when criticised
and preserving despite whatever difficulties arise. 5. Industriousness Hard working, energetic and productive. 6. Generosity (hospitality) Fair minded and compassionate to the weak and poor,
unselfish with time and wealth and a willingness to help those in need. 7. Compassionate strength Strength to defeat evil and those who would do us harm,
coupled with compassion, mercy and opposition to cruel and unjust acts. 8. Honour Personal integrity resulting from displaying the above
qualities, fame and glory from brave and honourable deeds. |
