| 第六屆YMCA世界協會大會，於1973年7月18日至25日在非洲鳥干達首都坎帕拉舉行，共有58個國家之YMCA代表約438人參加，會中重新認定保特「巴黎本旨」原文。巴黎本旨是表達基督為此一聯合各宗派之世界性團契運動的中心，一致採取開明的會員政策，以廣納不同的信仰、年齡、性別及社會背景的人士。 |
|
|
|
巴黎本旨並不是要限制任何基督教青年會所規定的會籍條件，而應由世界協會之成員個別審慎酌訂。巴黎本旨聲明，世界協會之成員其有絕對自由採用其他詞語，以及表達YMCA的目的，俾能符合其服務對象的需要及願望，只要YMCA世界協會認為此等用語與巴黎本旨吻合即可，故認識青年會在今日世界中的特性，確認巴黎本旨的行動，即凡YMCA及其會員是與上帝同工的。故附加下列「坎帕拉」原則:
|
|
| ◆
謀求全人類平等機會與正義。 |
| ◆
致力及維護人與人的關係，以愛心了解其特有的環境。 |
| ◆
致力及維護YMCA及社會中之組織與制定以包容那些忠實，有深度及創造力的事情。 |
| ◆
致力及維護領袖人才及事工的典範，以見證基督徒多方面及深遠之經驗。 |
| ◆
致力於全人的建立。 |

PRINCIPLES |
| The
Paris Basis expresses that
Christ is the center of
the movement, which is conceived
as a worldwide fellowship
uniting Christians of all
confessions. It is consistent
with an open membership
policy, involving people
irrespective of faith as
well as age, sex, race and
social conditions. |
|
| The
basis is not designed to
serve as a condition of
individual YMCA membership,
which is deliberately left
to the discretion of constituent
movements of the World Alliance.
The basis makes clear that
the constituent movements
of the Alliance have full
freedom to express their
purpose in other terms designed
to correspond more directly
to the needs and aspirations
of those whom they are seeking
to serve, provided these
are regarded by the World
Alliance as being consistent
with the Paris Basis. |
|
| Recognizing
the character of the YMCAs
in the world today, this
act of acknowledging the
Paris Basis places upon
the various associations
and their members as fellow
workers with God such imperatives
as: |
|
| ◆
To
work for equal opportunity
and justice for all. |
| ◆
To
work for and maintain an
environment in which relationships
among people are characterized
by love and understanding. |
| ◆
To
work for and maintain conditions,
within the YMCA and in society,
its organizations and institutions,
which allow for honesty,
depth and creativity. |
| ◆
To
develop and maintain leadership
and program patterns which
exemplify the varieties
and depth of Christian experience. |
| ◆
To
work for the development
of the whole person. |
