YesNo
You are not in complete agreement, please explain:*
Disagreement with The Friends of Israel's Statement of Faith does not necessarily prevent you from being accepted into the Bridges program. However, if you disagree with The Friends of Israel's Statement of Faith and you are accepted into the program, we expect that you will not associate or link your doctrinal disagreements with The Friends of Israel, nor make your area of disagreement an issue of debate or contention while on the program for the sake of team unity. As the apostle Paul urged us, "With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Eph. 4:2-3).*

Although I disagree with The Friends of Israel Statement of Faith, I understand and agree to the above expectations.Other
