What we believe... |
Who are your religious figures, and what are your texts?Our church honors many religious figures, including Jesus, Gandhi, and Buddha. We teach lessons from many sacred texts, and also contemporary texts such as the writings of Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra. Wisdom is everywhere.
So this is not a Christian faith?That depends on your personal definition of Christian. While we honor Jesus as a teacher, we do not regard him as a savior, as we do not believe in the concept of salvation. |
What are your beliefs?
- One God, many names. God, Goddess, spark, force, energy... There is one force which we refer to as God, which manifests itself in all of nature, including each of us.
- Divine Within Us. We believe that each of us has the divine within us. Critics may say that this concept equates to pantheism, but that is simply untrue. The divine with in you (AKA your soul) is part of the one God, not a separate God in itself.
- All Thought Is Creative. Studies have revealed the power of prayer. Mindful and intentional prayer yields powerful results. Think of it this way: If you gave a 16 year old car keys, he may be able to drive to school safely. However, if you put him through driver's ed first, to learn how to control that powerful vehicle, the results will likely be better.
