ACORD founding principles

1. Belief in, and active support of, Freedom of Religion as guaranteed in our Constitution's First Amendment rights, including the right to follow no religion.

2. Belief in and active support of the concept that no single religion, faith tradition or spiritual practice is right for everyone.

3. Belief in and active support of the concept that no single religion, faith tradition or spiritual practice is more, or less, valid than another.

4. Belief in and active support of the separation of Church and State.

5. Knowing that as the Earth's most religiously diverse nation, it is crucial that the United States' many faiths work together to build better interfaith communication, understanding, trust, respect, and cooperation. Serving the community in this manner shall help bring about healing on an individual, community, national and planetary scale.
