The Oath (To be taken as an oath before service in parliament or any elected position with witnesses)
I swear before God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that:
I will not bring disgrace upon my family name, which is answerable to God,
I will not abandon those seeking freedom who stood next to me, no matter where I am stationed or in service,
I will cast a vote, draw lots, or make decisions in alignment with the laws and the decrees of the people,
I will uphold God’s divine justice and his laws before all else,
I will use critical thinking and have an unbiased and impartial listening to the accusers and defenders,
I will defend the land, boundaries, and people of my ancestors and my place of citizenship,
I will leave to the next generation, this place of my ancestors and citizenship, in a better and undiminished condition,
I will honour God and all things sacred to the laws of God
I will work with others to ensure that all that I swear today is upheld
Witnesses to this oath are my God to whom I plead,
Please forgive all my shortcomings and sins,
Please permit my hands to do these works,
Please permit my feet to carry me through the tasks I commit to and to tread on all evil in my way,
Please keep my mind focused on your will above all else.
Amen.
