Seven statements





                                            of EMCAPP












                 The seven statements of EMCAPP are as follows:




                 1. EMCAPP is based on the belief that there is a God who is ac�ve-
                    ly maintaining this world, and therefore there cannot be any
                    discussions about Man without talking about God.


                 2. EMCAPP acknowledges the limita�ons of all human knowledge
                    and therefore appreciates the a�empts of the various Chris�an
                    denomina�ons to describe God and their faith.


                 3. EMCAPP brings together interna�onal leaders and pioneers in
                    the field of Chris�an psychology and psychotherapy and its un-
                    derlying anthropology.


                 4. EMCAPP respects and appreciates the cultural and linguis�c di-
                    versity of backgrounds of its members.


                 5. EMCAPP encourages its members to learn how to recognize
                    each other as friends and brothers and sisters in Christ.


                 6. EMCAPP encourages its members in their na�onal challenges
                    and responsibili�es.


                 7. EMCAPP has a global future and it is open to discourse and joint
                    research opportuni�es around the world.





                 8.













          “God-image” is a term used to denote a person’s subjec�ve percep�on and experience of God, a personal assessment that is relevant for the development of faith. (Rizzuto, 1979).
