J.C.I. Creed
WE BELIEVE:
-
that faith in
God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
-
that the
brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
-
that economic
justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
-
that government
should be of laws rather than of men;
-
that earths
great treasure lies in human personality;
-
and that service
to humanity is the best work of life.
NOUS CROYONS:
-
que la foi en
Dieu donne à la vie son véritable sens;
-
que la
fraternité humaine a préséance sur la souveraineté des
nations;
-
que la liberté
des individus et de l'entreprise assurera mieux la justice
économique;
-
que l'autorité
doit s'appuyer sur la loi et non sur l'arbitraire;
-
que la personne
humaine est la plus précieuse des richesses;
-
que servir
l'humanité constitue l'oeuvre la plus noble d'une vie.
THE HISTORY OF
THE CREED
The J.C.I. Creed was
written by C. William Brownfield in 1946. Adopted by the Canada
Junior Chamber of Commerce and Jaycees International, this
simple statement of beliefs unites Jaycees around the world in a
bond of friendship and purpose. These 65 words have become the
third most important document in the lives of many, many people
worldwide.
