Provide Spiritual healing to those who have been hurt by poor ministers/churches, to bring them back to God.

Help the communities around us in need.

Serve the sacraments to the communities in which we live.

Observe God’s common laws of love each other and give honor.

Assist our fellow brothers and sisters in their ministry by sharing the skills we have with them to create a better tomorrow.

WE AFFIRM to live according to these two great rules: “You shall love the Lord Your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind... You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” All other principles fall within these rules and are governed by them.

WE AFFIRM that our spiritual message to the world is one of unconditional love, peace, and self-responsibility.

WE AFFIRM that every human being is a Son or Daughter of God and that each one has the potential to experience oneness with God.

WE AFFIRM God loves all people regardless of race, gender, class, or sexual orientation. Our altars and Priesthood are open to all humanity.

WE AFFIRM an individual’s right to complete freedom of thought, interpretation, conscience, and inquiry in all matters of our faith and belief.

WE AFFIRM our openness to spiritual truth wherever it may be found, whether that is in ancient wisdom, modern thought, mystical or daily experience or one's inner-knowing.

WE AFFIRM that we are spiritual beings in the human experience and that spiritual consciousness is forever expanding into higher and more infinite realms of awareness.

WE AFFIRM spiritual enlightenment as part of our mission to experience God at the innermost depths of our being as we surrender our humanness to dissolution in the divine Light. Our greatest desire is to share these experiences with all of humanity by our living example.

WE AFFIRM there is only one true God, however this God is known or worshipped; hence, there is eternally only one holy universal Church, regardless of the cultural form it happens to assume in a given time and place. We revere the saints, sages, and holy ones of all ages and places.

WE AFFIRM that we are a mystical Holy Order, keeping in mind the words, “Be still and know I AM - God.” We give a primary place to, “The kingdom of heaven lies within you.” and acknowledge that the greatest advancement in spiritual truth is made by those who discover that divinity resides within. If God is Love, then it is through our love that we come to a real and abiding knowledge of God. For All, love is spiritual knowledge par excellence.

WE AFFIRM that we are a sacramental Holy Order. We hold that the sacraments are visible signs of a manifestation of divine grace, and are powerful aids to spiritual growth. First Naming, Holy Eucharist (Open to ALL), Reconciliation, Holy Unction (healing of the sick), Requiem, and Holy Matrimony (Open to ALL legal aged humans). Baptism is the rite of formal washing away one's past and confirming a new life and future with God. Holy Orders is an initiation available to those who wish to serve as clergy.

I believe in one God who goes by many names and is worshipped throughout the world. My God doesn’t care what name I use as long as I give honor.

From this God came forth all humans who are created equal as brothers and sisters of this world. Each of us, no matter what we believe, are the sons and daughters of God with the ability to have a oneness with God.

God granted unto all humans unconditional love, peace, and self-responsibility.

As a gift, God gave each of us Spirituality to express it any way we choose. In doing so, we have used it as a way to suppress one another.

God commanded us to “Be Still and Know that I AM”, but we did not listen. God then commanded “The kingdom of heaven lies within you” as a way to remind all of our equality to one another, but again we did not listen.

So to assure that salvation could be reached, God sent forth messengers to all faiths of the world. Through these great teachers, we are able to be saved from our own destruction. They were given many names and many titles but we used that as a way to divide us further.

Their messages were said louder of “You shall love the Lord Your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Yet we still did not listen.

God has promised salvation to any who believe in unconditional love for all, peace, and self-responsibility.

Therefore, I believe in the Spirituality of a loving God who does not care what name I give, but only that I uphold the promise of a better tomorrow through my own actions.

I believe in a Spirituality that does not seek to divide humanity but bring us back together through the foundations of God.

I believe in the message set in stone and parchment that has been told throughout all generations of a God who walks with me.

I believe that when I am silent God is near and that my body is a key that unlocks the spirit of heaven within me.

I believe that one day all my brothers and sisters, made by and in the image of God, will unite again as one for the salvation of humankind. Together we will give honor to God as the messengers have instructed and God has commanded.

Until that day I will know that God is and always will be.
