[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sure am surprised at the turn this thread has taken.  I'm the PP who has been in AHG for the last 3 years, and I led the 5-6 year old girls last year.  [b]We never once ever talked about being a virgin or sex before marriage.[/b]  That is not going to come up for awhile that's for sure.

But it is right there in the American Heritage Girl Statement of Faith:

American Heritage Girls is a Christ-centered leadership and character development ministry.

[b]The following Statement of Faith applies to all American Heritage Girls' Charter Organizations, Adult Members and Adult Leaders.[/b]

"We believe that there is One Triune God – Father, Jesus Christ, His one and only Son; and the Holy Spirit – Creator of the universe and eternally existent. We believe the Holy Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) to be the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We believe each person is created in His image for the purpose of communing with and worshipping God. We believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Who enables us to live godly lives. We believe that each individual is called to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength; and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We believe God calls us to lives of purity, service, stewardship and integrity."

Clarity is further provided to the following terms:

Purity- God calls us to lives of holiness, being pure of heart, mind, word and deed. [b]We are to reserve sexual activity to the sanctity of marriage; a lifelong commitment before God between a man and a woman. [/b]

Service- God calls us to become responsible members of our community and the world through selfless acts that contribute to the welfare of others.

Stewardship- God calls us to use our God given time, talents and money wisely.

Integrity- God calls us to live moral lives that demonstrate an inward motivation to do what is right, regardless of the cost. [/quote]

Why the need to spell out the adult members believe we are to reserve sexual activity to the sanctity of marriage/no divorce/man and woman only unless there is the understanding that this issue will come up?[/quote]
